Today I printed off a few paintings. The first was "Talisman" by Serusier. And the second was Cezanne's famous Millstone in the Park of Chateau Noir. When looking at the masters, I feel a sense of huge inadequacy. Why would I even try to paint something as beautiful as they could! What is the point? I don't have an easy answer to that question. I just know that their artwork is so devastatingly beautiful, that it makes me want to submerge myself in painting as well, even though I am not a master and feel extraordinarily inadequate.
