The Contemplation of Quitting Art, Why?

Why, do we all contemplate quitting our quest of an art career?
       Well it is very natural to have self doubt, but it is the true artists that contemplate quitting one day in frustration and are back at it the next turn of a page in time. That is why we do it, it flows through our veins, just as the blood flows.
    Thus remembering why we went on a quest of an art career, the love of art!  The main reason I believe artists quit is because they realize that a career in the arts is not as glamorous and as easy as they imagined it would be, not like in the movies or a fairytale life where you are instantly famous and sell all your work quicker then you can create it. So we all have to be committed or quit, because the odds are against all artists despite talent aside it takes years of dedication and hard work.

Different Interpretations of Landscape art

Being a visual artist it is rather difficult to ignore interpreting the beauty of nature.
Although nature beckons to cry out, paint me, recreate me, without the possibility of creating what nature is the artist can only imitate!  

 A different as nature reproduces different view of its infinitive nature. The artist can just convey
his/her own interpretation of what they see.

The only thing that is evident just like in nature there are different interpretations, therefore the artists are only interpreters of  nature...

    Thus each time an artist creates an image of nature it may be conveyed  within an abstract, photography, a landscape painting or drawing, etc.

 

As in nature an artwork can tell a story, so as a viewer of the artist interpretation should not be dismissed as just good or bad based upon a visual.

Just like in the world around us there is always different interpretations behind every story, so look beyond the imagery!

Just as in nature an artist can have new growth!

Just as in nature an artist can have new growth!

What is growth when it comes to artists, an artist is a work in progress, such as in nature. The heart and soul is part of the growing process of the artist, learning is also part of the natural instinct between self awareness  and visual contact with the world around us all.

Now I know how confusing this might sound, but it is truly a process of acknowledgement on the artist's behalf... 

While becoming self aware, comes new growth!

SO MUCH ART, WHAT A LIFE!!!

 

 

So much art, what a life!!!

So much art, what a life...

Sometimes I like other artists have ups and downs, with the feeling of despair and question why I'm doing art. Then the creative voices in my head and heart of hearts speaks to me, do you like what you are doing?

The answer is always the same, yes!  

I find if an individual such as I, who has fallen in love with art, it is a life long affair that  will never leave as long as you live and quite likely it will continue long after your passing:

leaving a legacy of love for the arts for generations to come, e regardless of how good your art is!  

A Pleasure To Complete.

Here is a piece I truly enjoyed painting, I believe there will be more in my future in a larger format.
     A painting as such is a challenge of abstraction that requires a perception of all the knowledge I have acquired as an artist.
    Contrary to belief abstract art requires an intellect of a different nature, not like painting any other subject matter for what is created is non-tangible. Moreover you have to create what is not there, it comes from the heart and mind of the artist and sometimes by sheer accident!

The opinions written are of my own observations and opinions are varied.
