Georgia O'Keeffe, York Beach, Maine, September 25, 1923
"My work all looks rotten - The day is beautiful out and I don't feel a bit discouraged about my inability to paint anything as fine as the day - as fine as I feel - ... my work looks like a dead angle worm - but I don't seem to mind a bit - I'm going right at it again -... and though I know my work is very bad I seem to want to do some more that will probably be equally bad - I seem to have a very good time with it even if it's bad stuff and so far I have very little to show for it - It will come in time - Something must come from it."
