HORNEL'S HOME - BROUGHTON HOUSE

E A Hornel's 18C Georgian House
Broughton House Garden

E A Hornel was a Scottish artist, one of the Glasgow Boys. His home is now a living museum of Hornel's life and work. We joined the Scottish National Trust here. I found the following quote by Hornel quite inspiring.

"The man who works because he is in the mood may expect failure. I work always. One who enthuses over his work will always find something to do.

The real mood or inspiration comes oftener through work than by waiting. Everyone recognises the great importance of inspiration but the talk of waiting for it is unfortunately too often the excuse for idleness".
