Your paintings are staggeringly beautiful. Did I ever tell you that, or was I just too concerned that you weren't going to earn a living? I know the answer... I worried that the paint was so thickly applied that it might snap off and ruin someone's carpet, rather than realizing that you'd made color itself tactile. Rosamund Lupton
About This Quote

You are a talented painter. The art you have created in your work is astonishing. However, by being so concerned about making money, you have become too concerned for your art. You've lost sight of what you are doing and instead, are concerned with what others think of you.

Your work really has no limitations. It's not like the paint is so thickly applied that it will break or get ruined. With time, the paint will eventually get worn away by the elements, but this will make it even more natural and beautiful.
