Why Van Gogh Shot Himself
It's pretty simple.
You have this idea in your head. The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.
You keep working it...it's a horrible process. Maddening...torturous.
Worse..if you have done some really good paintings (and I have...though like Van Gogh I have never actually sold one) the pressure is one to maintain that level of art.
Expect updates here and there. We have no fire arms in the house.
Dammit.

That is a beautiful post...well worth pondering.
I will.
An old friend once said "the goal of my art is to get as close as I can".
It is a better quote than he was a friend. But good all the same.
Thanks Cool.
