The intense effort taught the patience needed to hyperfocus on details to refine the right fine motor skills required to produce this kind of art. Anyone supremely dedicated would gladly spend the effort.

This essay reminds me of something one of my college professors once taught: “The only way you’ll be world class in anything is if you truly enjoy what you doing.”

Talent takes you so far, but passion gets you to the mountain top. Thanks for writing this!
