“Did you ever feel the weight of the world on your shoulders? When I painted
'The Burden of the Responsible Man' I felt overwhelmed by how much everybody expected from me.
I felt as if life was taking everything I had and not giving much back, just dangling a carrot to keep me going.
Even this man’s pet, a hedgehog, needs to be fed and taken for walks, but is too prickly to offer warm ‘cuddlies’
in return. But the man’s a responsible person and so he just keeps plodding along.
That’s the point.I just kept plodding along, too, and things got better.
I discovered that my burdens were really blessings and challenges necessary
for my growth.”
