Well, I don't necessarily attribute any particular intent to one's opportunities, even though I believe our intentions shape much of what happens to us once we understand how self-determinative we are. I'm the oldest of nine kids off a very poor western states farm, and the only reason I stumbled into some quality instruction in art was serendipity, extreme generosity of others, events that couldn't possibly have been foreseen by me, and many (many) hard lessons learned during a few decades -- some misspent -- of sorting things out.

It's scary to expose our creative efforts, however modest, and plenty of folks feel excruciatingly vulnerable in doing so. I think it's their right not to be afraid, and it is a great pleasure to me just to be able to say, well done, is there anything I can help you with?
