You have to be willing to make mistakes regularly; there is nothing wrong with it. Michael taught me about making your best judgment, being wrong, making your next best judgment, being wrong, making your third best judgment, and then doubling your money.
I've learned that you can't control everything, but you can control how you react to it.
"I don't think of myself as a photorealist. I think of myself as a realist painter."
The process is more important than the result.
