One Final Word

There are many people all over the world who have aspired to become great artists.  Many have succeeded.  None have failed. For each person in their own unique way is an artist.  Whether you create the picture with paint, pencil, or computer graphics the point is you are creating.  You are expressing yourself in a way that is enjoyable to you. 

Others may find great inspiration in your work.  Criticism will always come, whether it be from others or even yourself.  Do not let it bother you.

Art is a way of expressing our thoughts, feelings, and emotions.  We can show who we really are by what we put on the blank canvas.  This can sometimes be extremely thought provoking.  It can be comical or whimsical.  The point is that it expresses something.  You capture the essence of who you are when you begin to paint.

Even if you cannot afford to make a living out of painting, do it for the joy of it.  Do it because you find a love for painting.  Do it every day.  This is your time to shine.  Let everyone know you painted that picture on your wall.  Tell them you were the master artist when they ask where you got it.  Let them know you can tell your story by the pictures you create.

Painting is a way of loving what you do and doing what you love.  Remember, a picture is worth a thousand words, no matter how it is displayed.
