RE: Talent vs Hard Work. THE FAIRY TALE DEBUNKED!!!
Thank you for an awesome comment @natureofbeing. And yes I do agree with you that talent is that special something that can make a different between good artist and extraordinary artist. I also think that real passion can ignite the fire of talent where it was not before. I do believe that talent is not necessarily inborn and cannot be cultivated during one's life. But most of all- I don't think that any activity should be done with the vision of the result, but for the sake of being present (and getting lost = loose the mind, open the heart, come back to "true home") in the creative moment. An amazing painting done by someone who just seeks recognition is a small piece of art compared to someone's "stick man" which was done with zero expectation and maximum joy. I do hear you though. Thanks again! Much Love on your creative journey!
