IF I CAN DO THIS, I CAN DO ANYTHING

Sometimes it's the strangest obstacles that make you grow. Someone (to whom I am still grateful today) demanded that I copy the Fruit basket by Caravaggio, a painting I didn't really like at the time, and I had to use pastels which I had never worked with before... But I got down to it, and line by line, grape by grape I reached that wonderful creative process, which made me forget everything around me. And along the way, I learned an incredible amount.
