Next, Paris! I know you have heard this before but the ART is unbelievable in Paris. Statues and Sculptures EVERYWHERE! It just amazes me the amount of talent and effort on all the buildings, inside the buildings..... just amazing.

Back then, I mean middle ages to the 19th century, the pace was slow and I believe your merit as an artist was the amount of time and effort you put into your pieces besides the amount of talent you had.

Today, our art is a reflection of our society..... zip, zip, zip! Everything is done in a hurry, hurry, hurry! If we as artists can zip out piece after piece as artists we are adored. If we as artists can take a quick brush stroke and turn that into genius, we are adored. Nothing wrong with either approach in my humble opinion.
