Rousseau at the National Gallery

For those that like Henri Rousseau, there is a wonderful exhibit currently running at the National Gallery. I posted one of his original paintings, which was laughed at by traditional artists, but embraced by artist such as Picasso. He is interesting because he truly believed in his art, and no matter how he was mocked, he continued to paint. We are all the beneficiaries of his persistence. There a lesson in there somewhere.
