A Pablo Picasso story from the Village Voice:
There’s a great story about Pablo Picasso. Some guy told Picasso he’d pay him to draw a picture on a napkin. Picasso whipped out a pen and banged out a sketch, handed it to the guy, and said, “One million dollars, please.”
“A million dollars?” the guy exclaimed. “That only took you thirty seconds!”
“Yes,” said Picasso. “But it took me fifty years to learn how to draw that in thirty seconds.”

i wish to hear from and learn about art therapy and gain knowledge help help others who have some psychological problems in their lives.
I love the fact that artists seem to be more in touch with our connection to emotions than most – perhaps if we did the same we would be abound with creativity and productivity.
A very beautiful and valuable site indeed
Thanks and blessings
