Excerpt from Art Journey Podcast with watercolorist, Tom De Somer: 

I see the work of others and I compare myself there and boy, I'm not at that level. And there is that internal struggle. I think if we allow those struggles, that internal critique, to move us in the direction of perfecting our craft, that's going to be to your benefit. But the temptation for every artist is to give up.
