As I read this excerpt from a letter that Vincent van Gogh wrote to his
brother Theo, who was also an artist, I remembered the post of some time
ago, when someone was expressing to us how dissatisfied she was with her
work at the time.
"Your work is unbeautiful, alright let it be unbeautiful. It will grieve
you, but it must not discourage you. Nature demands a certain devotion,
and she demands a period of struggling with her... It is the experience
and hard work of every day which alone will ripen in the long run and
allow one to do something truer and more complete... You will not always
do well, but in the days you least expect it, you will do that which
holds its own with the work of those that have gone before."
Respectfully submitted, David McDonald
