“Painters must want to paint above all else. If the artist in front of the canvas begins to wonder how much he will sell it for, or what the critics will think of it, he won't be able to pursue original avenues. Creative achievements depend on single-minded immersion.” Dr. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, credited with defining the Theory of Flow.
