One of my major regrets was that I destroyed a couple of (unsigned) REALLY AWFUL EMBARRASSING paintings I slaved over when I was just starting out in oils...
I often run into people who mistakenly assume that I was "lucky enough to be born with talent"...and that I didn't really start out at the bottom. HA!
I'd like to show 'em just how bad my work once was...it might inspire them to not ever give up
as anything is possible. Really and truly!
