Hah, I didn't expect so much sage encouragement from my musing about being inspired/depressed (inspressed? despired?) by the work here.
Thanks, you're all quite right that comparing yourself to others is often counterproductive because we're all on our own paths, and that if I'm having fun, who cares what it looks like. Of course part of my problem is making time to practice - nowhere near 10,000 hours here!
Nefnef, I love your latest. I think the tiara on Lalli is hilarious. Yes, Reynir is the centre of attention (both of the kids and the viewer) but it makes total sense to me that one of the kids would have stuck a tiara on Lalli - maybe before Reynir appeared - and if he were in a mellow mood, he might just ignore the foolish thing. He looks pretty mellow. It's a lovely little detail.
