I have been struggling with what I want to do with my creativity and have had a desire to rekindle my love of painting lately. I spend a lot of time watching talented people on You Tube and can spend literally hours watching how people create. In my younger years I always thought I wanted to become a painter. Now I know that everyone with a paint brush and paint can paint but to me a true artist is someone who steps back and feels some satisfaction from what is on their canvas is the true artist. Each painting I do I hope that I get just a little sense of that from what I apply to what I am working on. I think for the individual it is a life long quest.....
I want to mention that I have found a wonderful artist that shares what she does with others to try and bring that out in everyone. I know that she has helped me rekindle that spark from years ago.
