Oh very nice use of all three prompts, and for making them ease together so naturally into one piece. I like your characterization of the artist - forever unsatisfied with the products of his craft.

Thank you very much! Glad to hear that the use of the prompts didn't seem forced--and that this characterization of the artist worked for you!
