A person's development is a very long and mysterious process. Very very gradually, through wisdom and experience, you become freer. You can't pinpoint a particular stage of development. You weep more. You laugh more. You are older. And some how you have changed. I don't think a painter is anything other than an instrument; and how he does it he cannot really explain. The brush in your hand takes over and you don't even know you are painting.
