The 20 minute goal
Our goal is not a perfect drawing. Our goal is 20 minutes of creative time. After 20 minutes, if you want to keep working on the project you can, but the goal is 20 minutes, and no matter what happens 20 minutes is a win!

Yesterday I wrote about Bonnard’s sketches, and included an unkind description of his wife Marthe. “Bonnard’s wife Marthe was a difficult and neurotic woman who spent a disproportionate amount of her day in obsessive washing and bathing.
