Thoughts of the Netherlands [and when I move on]

I was a little unsure upon my arrival of my experience here in Leiden, Netherlands.  Was it going to be worth my time and money, would I learn anything.  Here's what I've gained.

You must always push yourself.  Determination to do this will make me a better artist [or just an artist at all].  My schooling here is quite open and I can do with it as much as I am willing.  This isn't so much different from what I've been learning at school so far, but being in an unfamiliar place where everything looks new/exciting and overwhelming it's easy to get distracted by all of it.  But here, I'm learning the ambition to create in a slightly different direction and it's helping me focus.  This, coincidentally, only makes it easier for me to move on from here with clearer vision to capture the people and places I'm going to visit.  I can't get this right all on my own, however.  It will take some talent, yes; but most importantly God given inspiration.  So, if you're in the habit of praying for others, I would ask that you pray for me to have Divine inspiration to capture the hope the missionaries and organizations already give on a daily basis.  If God gets the glory in the end [and all the way through] then I've done my job.

watch for picture to come in the future, I'll be in Romania in about two weeks.
