Sometimes, when you see (or hear or read or taste) the work of others, the sensation goes right to your heart. That happens to me when I see images I wanted to have made myself but did not yet manage to do so. At such moments, admiration bubbles up.and I know I found a masters.  
A new revelation of this kind are the portraits of Lita Cabellut. Chapeau!
It will take me ages to even come close to her heels, but that's ok. It's good to have ideals.
Sometimes I recognize my own path in the route of others. That happened recently when I saw this work by Serafin Santiago, Gosh, so much power, 

​and this cloudy work in pogress

If first there is nothing and then there is something, 
a miracle has happened.
Such miracles have a name: creation
Creation is a devine power.
And we all have it.
We, the human kind, have a constant need to identify ourselves: we look in the mirror, we do things, we behave in a certain way and we devellop an attitude.
One of the best ways to identify ourselves and become a (better) person is to do something and to continue to do so until you become good at it.
