Patience

I like to think that patience is one of my virtues, especially when working with people, but sometimes I don't have it when it comes to making art.  Especially when I realize how much more work I must do before I reach the fluency that I admire in other artists.  But that's the way it is,  and fortunately I do enjoy the work.  It's just that sometimes,  I want to leap ahead, but have to put in the necessary work, and be patient.

You have the passion Bob which is much more important than patience. We as artists will always underestimate ourselves simply because we see the vision of what we want and are always hungry for more. Enjoy and keep painting those beauties. And keep hungry.
