Art Quote: Edgar Degas

"There is a kind of success that is indistinguishable from panic."   Edgar Degas

I came across this quote by Degas and remembering my painting "A day on the beach"... thinking back when I was working on that painting, it was not going well, I was at a loss, and in frustration I quickly slapped some paints on the canvas trying to 'rescue' the painting. I was about to give up trying... I took a few steps back and then I saw it... there was nothing else I wanted to add to it... done!  A sense of relief and delight!        "success from panic"...?
