This is a hard one.

Most artists are troubled inside... or worse
and usually overcompensate in their promotions

And usually in a weird way that is trying to explain to a non-artist, that i am a good artist.
I use soft gels in the aqua color range and stipple....
I use greens to give the painting a water feel...
OOK, me, take brush, make painting (waves arms around wildly)

Anyway, art is so important to most artists, in a way that non artists can never understand.
And this makes for a weird, not understood personality facade
Or prima donna
