I really spent a lot of paint on one painting. Usually, I start to paint in one direction and then in the middle of it I change everything. I am truly lead by the painting and I never press some previsualized ideas of my own if I see that the development of a painting is heading in some other direction. That is why my work is unique.
There are so much painters that I love to watch and to observe their works, but I am not at peace if I start to notice somebody else's influence in my paintings.
I think that God made us unique, every one of us. We all will and can effect each other on some level and influence on each other, but we all have unique talents and we see the world differently and our work needs to show that.

"TWELVE EXTRAORDINARY WOMEN" John McArthur

From the very first chapter of the Bible, we are taught that women, like man, bear stamp of God's own image (Gen. 1:27; 5:1-2). Woman play prominent roles in many key biblical narratives. Wives are seen as venerated partners and cherished companions to their husbands, not merely slaves or pieces of household furniture (Gen. 2:20-24; Prov. 19:14; Eccl. 9:9). At Sinai, God commanded children to honor both father and mother (Ex. 20:12). That was a revolutionary concept in an era when most pagan cultures were dominated by men who ruled their households with an iron fist while women were usually regarded as lesser creatures - mere servants to men.
Of course, the Bible recognizes divinely ordained role distinctions between men and women - many of which are perfectly evident from the circumstances of creation alone. For example, women have a unique and vital role in childbearing and nurturing little ones. Women themselves also are "weaker vessels" (1 Peter 3:7). Scripture establishes the proper order in family and in the church accordingly, assigning the duties of headship and protection in the home to husbands (Eph. 5:23) and appointing men in the church to teaching and leadership roles (1 Tim. 2:11-15).
Yet women are by no means marginalized or relegated to any second-class status (Gal,. 3:28). On the contrary, Scripture seems to set women apart for special honor (1 Peter 3:7). Husbands are commanded to love their wives sacrificially, as Christ loves the church - even, if necessary, at the cost of their own lives (Eph. 5:25-31). The Bible acknowledges and celebrates the priceless value of a virtuous woman (Prov. 12:4; 31:10; 1 Cor. 11:7). In other words, from cover to cover, the Bible portrays women as extraordinary.
