"For those who find painting too challenging and have been convinced it is not their “destiny”, try thinking of it as a process of elimination.  Learning what not to do often teaches us more than anything.  Making mistakes should be considered “normal”, and simply accepted as an integral part of this often misunderstood cognitive process.  Much like a dedicated scientist or inventor, a good painter is actually most successful when teetering on the edge of failure.  Only when one is pushing the limits by diving into some uncomfortable territory, are we truly creating at our full potential.  A painter will never achieve greatness playing it safe."
