I take this art very seriously and passionately. I love what I do. You can't help but grow. That's not to say you don't make mistakes or make bad choices, but that's part of the art. Painters paint bad paintings. ↗

The painter must give a completely free rein to any feeling or sensations he may have and reject nothing to which he is naturally drawn. ↗
