There is a kind of magic in a *good* art store. Something about the endless possibilities realized by countless patrons before (throughout history in this case!) gives the paints and the brushes hanging on the walls something extra -- as if when you use them you are also a part of that history and you too can create something of great worth. Not because the paints are actually that special (although they are) but because you believe in yourself and your ability to make. #doitfortheprocess
