It may come across as arrogant self appreciation if I say I am good at art. However my feeling is artists have a devine gift which is to be used for the purpose for which it was given. So an artist must strive to be the best they can to appreciate and share their gift.
So whenever I complete a painting and stand back to look at it, it never ceases to amaze me that the composition, the detail and the colour has all come together from from the top of my head, through my hands and externally onto the canvas and then I give thanks for the ability to draw, to paint and to create and hope I never take it for granted.
I feel an equal amount of gratitude when the painting ends up in an exhibition and sells. In this respect I see the energy and creativity passing out of me and into the purchaser through their eyes and into their body. The fact that it resonates with them so much that they are willing to pay the asking price to make it their own; that it will be taken to their home to hang on a wall within their living space to bring them joy and peace.
No matter how often I sell a painting, the feeling is always the same and I never cease to be thankful. A heart of peace and love is a heart of eternal gratitude.
The painting above “Trees at Battle Abbey” is one of my favourites and was sold through an online gallery on January 15 2012
Beautiful – it is not arrogant to say you are good at art, it is just stating fact!
Thanks Amy – it’s just so subjective but I think you got point I was trying to make. I try to make each painting even better than the last one. Thanks for your support
Keep doing what you do hon. You’re awesome at it!
Hey cheers girlie. You too hon. So grateful for the support.
You are talented and you just have to keep believing! People buy your art because they resonate with the vibrancy of your colours!
