“My art just isn’t good enough.” This is something that pretty much every person who has come into physical contact with a pencil says at some point. Artists are their own biggest critics. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve finished something that I’ve poured hours, days, weeks, even months into and sat back only to hate it moments after completion. I have people telling me that they love my art- but I don’t believe them because -I- don’t love my art. I find myself getting jealous of other people’s abilities, styles, and technique.

This is Leonardo DaVinci. Perhaps one of the greatest minds that humanity has had the pleasure of knowing, one of the masters of art, and a devoted man of God. Guess what he said about his art?
I have offended God and mankind because my work didn’t reach the quality it should have.
