Well here it is November the 1st and it is the 1st time I have posted to my blog.
How boring!
Well off to my first day-----ART--- is it something to be appreciated, made to match the sofa......or just something that the artists needs to express? Some would say that an artist would paint or work no matter what...but would they continue if no one was there to encourage or comment?
Is ART or paintings only created if someone else can enjoy? I think that most artists whether visual or creative need an audience.......
Would I be incorrect in thinking that a dancer needs to be watched --why dance.
A singer needs to be heard ---why sing......
an actor needs to be on a stage or there is no need to act---
and an artists needs to have his/her paintings to be seen and enjoyed---why else create?
Even God created something that needed to be shared..... as it because the creation itself wasn't enough....he needed people to enjoy what he made-----so it is with an artist. Create for others to enjoy. Not that I am comparing artists to God...but to the idea that paintings are creations.
Will I create, paint, sculpt, draw---only if someone else appreciates the work? Or will I create for myself and for the sheer pleasure of doing.........time will tell.
This may be too simplistic but it is a way of thinking that I intend to digest and to chew on like a dog with his bone.....I will continue to dig it up and taste it to make sure it is still there and is still mine......I will worry it until I no longer take interest and then will bury it for good to forget it was even a thought.
What difference does it make if I work for others or for myself. Is it wrong to be commerical.....aha...but that is another question.
