In Praise of the Slow.

I have always, always been what you might call a slow person, who likes to take the time to deliberate before doing.  Indeed, if you rush me, as my mother always (many times rightly) tried to, I will misplace or lose or forget something.  It is one of those limitations I live with;  I can "rev" up, so to speak, but it always makes me tense and nervous.  Needless to say, in this country where the premium virtue is haste even in places of contemplation (!), I have often been the slower car--you know the one--who is taking their time while everyone else is rushing to the fire. 

So imagine my delight in finding this link called Slow Painting.

It isn't just about "slow art", but slow architecture, slow cooking, slow living.  I hope you slow people out there will enjoy it as much as I have.

And take your time.
