Hm, nice thought. It's also, going with the brush and painting a masterpiece, about the feelings one has and how one expresses them that defines if he/she can or not paint a masterpiece. If it's just about painting, anyone can do that, but if it's about creating something new, different, something that leaves a mark, that takes "guts" and a lot of mistakes, re-dos and so on. (sorry to somehow hijack your work xD) *silently sits down*
