Painting/creativity

I am blessed with the ability to paint.  It brings me joy, purpose, an out-let for my creative parts of me.  It is also a healing tool-very important.

We all have the ability to be creative & when given the right type of instruction, you can draw, paint-do all kinds of art related creations.

We all do not paint like Rembrandt, da Vinci, or other well known artist of the past.  Many, like van Gogh, Chagall, Picasso changed the landscape of traditional art-just like so many others have done.

Creating for the sheer joy is the key & if you enjoy painting, go for it.  It is when we compare ourselves to others that can keep us from doing what we like.

There is a lot of art out there that I do not understand why it receives the attention & value that it does.  Some of it is quite simple, like a blue dot in the middle of a white canvas, yet, it works-what I mean by that is the artist was able to create something simple & that balanced.

There is other art/paintings that, to me, may have interesting aspects to it, however, on the whole does not work-it lacks balance or it just does not appeal to me at all.  We all have a right to our opinions.

To understand art is to educate yourself.  You may not like a lot of it but, you can see its purpose & appreciate it better.

If painting is not for you, there are so many other art forms & you can explore & discover what brings you enjoyment.

Having a creative out-let is healthy & being healthy is so important!

You Are Worth So Much!

God Bless
