WILLIAM A SLOAN | Work Your Bliss
http://williamasloan.com/work
And thank you for subscribing. February 5, 2016. Do what you love, they say, and you’ll never work a day in your life.that’s just stupid. I know a lot of people who do what they love…all different ages…all different areas of interest. And they work…hard! They’re always busy, forget to eat, don’t get enough sleep and are occasionally distracted…ok, often distracted…ok, probably always a little distracted. And you wanna know why? Because they love what they do. And it’s hard work. And then happiness and we...

WILLIAM A SLOAN | Bored People Are Boring People
http://williamasloan.com/bored-people-are-boring-people
And thank you for subscribing. August 7, 2015. Bored People Are Boring People. I saw my mom this weekend, my 94-year old mom, and I asked her what she was doing. And she said, I’m reading The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire and it’s beautifully written. Of course. The book series was written in the late 1700’s. She said it made her feel young by comparison. She also said she knew a thing or two about declining and falling. I think there’s a good chance she’s rehearsing a new lounge act. One of my gr...

WILLIAM A SLOAN | With One Look
http://williamasloan.com/blog
And thank you for subscribing. September 16, 2016. Sometimes, a person has a talent so big, it can’t be hidden or disguised. It’s like there’s a flashing sign over their head that says, TALENT! I woke up this morning thinking about that, I guess because of a bunch of conversations I’ve had this week and the results of a ridiculous art competition I read about this week. Judge not, lest ye be judged…just sayin’. A Broadway star. She’s stunning, she’s lovely…and she’s talented! She said, Do you want ticket...

http://williamasloan.com/about
And thank you for subscribing. Hi, I’m Bill. I write and paint, and have kept sketchbooks and journals since I was a kid, which was more than a couple of years ago. The contemporary equivalent of a sketchbook/journal is a blog, so here we are. My goals in life are simple to be better tomorrow than I am today, to laugh loudly and often, to hug fully and at every opportunity, to never judge and to always share any talents I may have or any knowledge I may have picked up along the way. JANUARY IN THE STUDIO.

WILLIAM A SLOAN | Weather… or Not
http://williamasloan.com/weather-or-not
And thank you for subscribing. August 14, 2015. Weather… or Not. It’s raining. A lot. More than buckets. More than cats and dogs. Torrents, I guess you could say. We’re sitting in a beautiful, lots-of-windows, modernist home, filled to overflowing with contemporary art, surrounded by sky, floating above the Cape Cod pines an inspirational tree house for grown-ups. The art inside is challenging, the weather outside is forceful… or is it the other way around? Which is a response? Eyes of the storms, perhaps.

http://williamasloan.com/he-got-the-job
And thank you for subscribing. July 30, 2015. He Got the Job. So, last week I hired this wonderful new guy. well, new to me, anyway, but wonderful to many, I’m sure. It’s a great thing to be able to do, to assist someone in their move forward, and it got me to thinking of others along the way. And pretty soon the others started accumulating and before I knew it, I realized that this new guy is my 50th hire over the course of my working life. 50! Five – Ohhhhhhh! So much gets written about. One of the bes...
