No one here was born an artist, Contrary to popular belief. Is is a sad thing to forget ones origin in the craft because I have a feeling that The doing of the thing followed closely upon something deeply personal for most everyone.
Do not forget all our humble beginnings. Some grasp particular things better then others and for many it has nothing to do with the existence of motivation, contemplation and practice or the lack there of.
I am a very humble individual and I have on many occasion given my last dollar to someone and I would not presume that I possessed something that , regardless of how I acquired it, that I should not pass along to another. This IS Drawspace. many of you have TEACHER under your name in each and every post you make.
one of many definitions of teacher: [in part] "...One whose personal life is like unto the Master in loving compassion and full humility of soul, with nothing of "I" or "me" left..."
