Feelings of inadequacy

In the post titled "The Silence of the Lambs" I say something like this:

Geographic Disclosure:  For those of you not completely in the loop, my studio is located next to a pediatric dental office.

I feel diminished by those words.

I mean, you should see Gerhard Richter's studio.  Likewise his wife, but that's a different story.

And when was the last time you heard of Picasso or Matisse painting next to a dentist?

The whole thing shakes me up a bit.  Makes me feel diminished.  In a shallow sort of a way.
