The MacDowell Colony is one of the best perks an artist can get. Tara Geer, a visual artist, went twice to work on her drawings. She also interviewed a MacDowell legend, lunch delivery man Blake Tewksbury.

Listen however to Tara describe the main obstacle she found to getting her own work done……what’s the answer?

And what is the result when she’s dealt with the obstacle at the end of her month?

This is the concept I stress as a core skill for artists, the meditative state – and a Mind Like Water.
