What can be conceived artistically can be assessed and developed according to its virtues.
Clearly, there are challenges to be overcome in bringing into being works that reflect truly the vision of the artist's imagination. These will be numerous, and vary in degrees of difficulty.
The greater the challenge, the more patience proves essential. There must be resources with which to work, there must be time to gain knowledge, skills, critical insight; these must be applied with an eye to risk, failure, and gain, and the will to accept results and modify approaches.
Acceptance of the idea of art as the work of a lifetime is an existential commitment.
To those who make that choice, and to those that support them, godspeed the new year's journey.
