I think some people can do really good job at painting than me, they can do some amazing jobs without adding another layer. All manual, no help, no tool, no nothing but pure skill. To bad most of them didn't have a time to shine. They all mostly either give up, have a familly, do business, get a 9-5 job, etc. What what that still active today are either still new, have nowhere to go, or just simply stubborn or really love to do art. Only a few success.
So many potentials wasted just in the name of so called "competition". Sometime I just can't get over it to not thinking how many of them are just gone.
