When will we ever learn?

Art is a strange bedfellow, and I mean that literally. It hovers in your dreams, haunts your days and at times tries your patience. There is always something to learn, something new to try, a novel way to attack a painting, this is what keeps me going, this is what keeps it fresh for me. There is always a challenge, it can be overwhelming, when we think we have reached a level of competence to realize how much we don't know, and this is what I adore - the ever unfolding challenge.
