 Although I have done dozens of paintings in the last two years, did you know that before that I had only done five paintings in thirty years?

If only I had had more self-esteem now I would have done hundreds of paintings.

One should never be crushed by the judgement of others, but neither should one's own.

 👏🏻 KEEP GROWING FAM 💜🫂🖼️🎨 
 Amazing! I had assumed you had been painting steadily for decades. 
 How much time do you spend painting daily? It must be a lot! Aren't you afraid of burnout? Or to run out of subjects to draw?  
 I devote about a couple of hours a day to painting; I have no fear of running out of subjects or burnout.
And you? 😊🎨🫂 
 Couple of hours a week 😔
