As an art lover, when I see a painter who does many paintings on a daily basis, I get the impression that he does them without passion, without putting that part of himself into them that gives value to the painting and involuntarily attracts the art admirer.
But then I realise that I too, if I could, would paint every day from morning to night and when I don't, I feel empty.
I would still put passion into it, like I do now that I paint when I am not doing the work that allows me to pay the bills, have food on the table and buy everything I need to paint.
Art doesn't make you rich in money, but it makes you rich in everything else.
So in the end I have great respect and a touch of healthy envy of those who have managed to make art their main occupation.
Bless you. π
