A jar of used paintbrushes to pair with a Chuck Close quote about creativity

Jumpstart Your Creativity

Here’s is a great quote to jumpstart your creativity. Those who have ever tried to draw, paint, compose, write a play, or create anything know that the biggest myth is that the clouds will part and the idea will just happen. You have to show up, make a mark, and just get started—that’s when the best ideas begin to arrive!


“Inspiration is for amateurs. The rest of us just show up and get to work.”

—Chuck Close, Photorealist Painter
