# About me
A sincere artist is not one who makes a faithful attempt to put on to canvas what is in front of him, but one who tries to create something which is, in itself, a living thing. ~William DobellIt has been said that art is a tryst, for in the joy of it maker and beholder meet. ~Kojiro Tomita
Every creator painfully experiences the chasm between his inner vision and its ultimate expression. ~Isaac Bashevis Singer
All art requires courage. ~Anne Tucker
Painting is easy when you don't know how, but very difficult when you do. ~Edgar Degas

You're welcome! (I think that's the right response... I assume you're saying "Thanks for the Llama", but I couldn't translate it properly...)

I really appreciate your honesty and desire to help the art community. I'm searching for ways to do that as well, and you've made me reconsider posting journals. I had avoided it because I thought "Who cares what I have to say?", and I don't like putting a lot of personal info online. Your writing is a good example of authenticity without too many personal details, and people really do care about what you're saying!

I just believe everyone is in need of encouragement sometimes
I might not be the greatest artist out here... but I love writing and I think inspiring people is a good goal to work forΒ
