I was asked in general conversation last week if I was an artist. As soon as I heard my response leave my mouth I cringed.
“A pretend artist”
I have mentioned with previous posts that I have struggled with embracing my creative side and identifying with it. So my response was wrong! I am an artist. For many reasons…..but the real reason is simply because I create.
That is the beauty of art. No one gets to decide that for you. Art is subjective and that is beautiful. Bad on me for not answering with how I feel when I paint or create anything that comes from within me. Art may not be what I do Monday to Friday but it is what I do and it is what makes me happy. Everyone should have something that makes them as happy as painting makes me.
