Warhol Said: Don't Think About Making Art. Just Get it Done.

Andy Warhol once said, “Don’t think about making art, just get it done. Let everyone else decide if it's good or bad, whether they love it or hate it. While they are deciding, make even more art.”
In a world that relentlessly seeks to label and judge, these words serve as a profound reminder of the purity of creation. Art, after all, is an endeavor of honesty and courage - it's about putting a piece of your soul on display and allowing it to resonate with others, however it may.
The essence of what Warhol suggests is liberation - a freedom from the constraints of societal approval. It's an invitation to let go of the fear of critique and to embrace the act of creation for its own sake. Each stroke, each word, each note is a step in a dance of authenticity, where what matters is not the applause at the end but the passion in every move.
In this fast-paced digital age, where the value of art can be obscured by the number of likes or shares it receives, it’s vital to remember that the true value of art lies in its creation. It's in the quiet hours spent honing a craft, in the thrill of a new idea, and in the persistence to see it through.
So let us heed Warhol’s call. Let us create with the tenacity of those who know that their work is not defined by the judgment of the moment but by the timeless act of creation itself. Let us keep making art - art that is unapologetic, art that is unbound, art that is utterly human. For in the end, it is the act of creating that connects us all, a silent conversation between creator and observer, a legacy of our innermost selves.
And that's something to think about. I'm W J O'Reilly, be well and hope to see you soon.
