Drawing must seek for interest, not for admiration. Because admiration wears quickly.
Character is power; it makes friends, draws patronage and support and opens the way to wealth, honor and happiness.

Muted, fearful, riddled with self-doubt, she can remain trapped in daughterhood forever, the one place she feels confident she knows the rules.
