Find what is good for your soul...

    I feel it’s been awhile since I’ve shared any of my art. If you were wondering, no, I haven’t stopped creating! I just stopped sharing! I’m not even sure why! I have come to terms with my art. What I mean by that is this: 

 

    I used to be a person who thought that art was meant to be perfect and pristine before ever letting outsider eyes on it. 

 

    I was unrealistically hard on myself as well! I haven’t had any proper training, no schooling, nobody teaching me! Every single art-like skill I have has been self taught and learned through the act of DOING, TRYING and most of all, FAILING! 

 

    The fact of the matter is, art DOES have a rhyme and a reason. People view it SO differently, what they consider art and what they don’t. For me, I consider anyone trying to do something creatively as art. It might me good, bad, awful, worse than awful, great, excellent or where in the hell have you been hiding all these years?! But art is art. There isn’t a market on good vs bad. It’s however a piece makes you feel inside! And that is a hard lesson I had to learn for myself. 

 

    If I wasn’t producing pieces that we’re sharp and concise, I didn’t consider them as art. That mindset is TOXIC! 

 

    Now, I don’t think that I am the untapped, untouched salvation of the art world or anything! But I DO think that I have real potential if I apply myself and keep practicing, learning and failing without worrying about what others think of me and my ART! 

 

    I used a simple medium for the first time in FOREVER! I just did this doodle with pencil/colored (little pine) and some simple watercolor!  I forget how much I love simple mediums and taking it back to basics! 

    I don’t have a specific art style, I just do what I feel and see where it takes me! 

 

    Anyway, I have adventures to plan, art to create, books to write, lessons to learn and a whole slew of things ahead that I’m going to need to figure out, I hope to keep you all along for the ride!
