Can you appreciate someone else's art while having no appreciation for your own?

@RogueLoner Yes. I suppose jealousy could come into play, but I'd much rather learn from what I see and hear and maybe become better at it all.

@SW-User Never jealous. Just in awe. Like, HOW do they do that?

@RogueLoner Yep. I think some people do get a bit jealous, but maybe it's motivation to try harder.

@SW-User I'd rather just observe and marvel in the talent that I don't have and never will. Like dancing. I used to dance OK, but how some of these people look like they are floating on air when they dance is beyond me. It's amazing. I could watch good dance videos all day.
I remember when I was very young, like 8 or 9 years old , there was a guy on KDKA channel 2 who was an artist. He made charcoal sketches and I was just riveted to the TV at the ease at which he did it. I can draft blueprints and such, but to make a sketch like that...no way. I can't even draw a stickman.

@RogueLoner I see what you mean. I too admire those things but also love it when I can attempt the same with better results after maybe seeing something done or getting tips from someone on how they did it.
Dancing.... it's just never happening to dance like the stars! lol
