there is something to be discovered
Art dealers have certain prejudices which I think it possible you have not yet shaken off, particularly the notion that painting is inborn. Yes, it is inborn, but not as is generally supposed; one must put out one’s hands and grasp it; that grasping is a difficult thing-one must not wait till it reveals itself. There is something to be discovered, but not what most people suppose. By painting, one becomes a painter.
Van Gogh
