In this shot I had the focus on the heart of the flower, her petals that were about to open and reach out to our world~I was visiting a friend Jackie's blog yesterday. She had asked the question when is an artist an "artist"? It is quite a lovely post. I had many thoughts swirling around my head as I read this article, but I had to think of when do I really feel like an artist!?
What makes an artist an "artist"?For me I think an artist is when an "artist" or for myself I am totally immersed in my work. It is almost like the "artist" or I am getting ideas, energy and guidance to help me in the act of
creating. Being right in that moment, feeling the paint, creating with the flow.
Just being in the moment~ For me that is when I think an artist is an "artist" or when I am an "artist".

I try not to compare myself to "real" artists if I did I would never grow into the artist I am~ Theresa Huse
So today's journal prompt is for you to "focus on things that matter."
I hope you can keep your Sunday simple and enjoy all it holds for you!
Ps Congrats Jackie on focusing on you and things that matter to you by taking a new art class! Spread your wings ~
Your right! Last night after I got finished Sulking about the whole "artist" thing . I decided to just play and not worry so much about rather to use the label of artist or not and I had fun . Also I sat and made a list of what I want from art .I don't need to be a "famous artist" . What I decided I wanted was just something to be proud of to hang in my home and to be able to communicate with a pencil , a brush , or whatever I want with greater ease. So I made a list to remind me that it is not the "label" I seek . I had a visitor on that post that said that being technically good at painting or drawing doesn't make you an artist . Good art is art that has a soul and that you can feel emotionally . I like that!!
