Playing Hooky

I snuck off for a few hours yesterday to go see a movie -- Waitress, with Keri Russell and Andy Griffith. It was cute, and the pies looked fabulous!

It was interesting that Janna (played by Keri Russell) channeled her creativity into making pies. It occurred to me that pies are an easier sell than fine art. Is it likely that there wouldn't be an appreciative audience for Janna's pies? And yet that happens all the time with art. It makes me wonder why I am driven to create things that most people don't want, need or understand. Maybe I should have taken up something like baking cookies instead. Although you might disagree if you tasted my cookies!
