Yesterday's post included this line by Augustus Saint-Gaudens: "A good thing is no better for being done quickly."
This prompted a very interesting rhetorical question by portrait painter Ilaria Roselli del Turco: "But is a good thing any better for being done slowly?"
Have a look at this video "A Slow Art" by art critic Robert Hughes and let me know what you think.
