Oil painting on canvas



According to St. Augustine, "the very perfection of a man is to find out his own imperfection".
Yes, perfection is a slow process and it requires the hand of time. Perfection in everything is almost unattainable but what's the harm to aim at it, rather being lazy and despondent?

I think whatever we do, no matter big or small, we must try to do it perfectly. No matter where our interest lies, be it writing, reading, dancing , singing, playing or painting we should do it wholeheartedly, sincerely and with utmost dedication in order to be perfect at it. A great deal of joy in life consists in doing things perfectly or, at least to the best of one's ability. There is a sense of satisfaction, a pride in doing such a work which is rounded, full, exact and complete in all parts. Thus, even a small thing well done becomes artistic...
