Earlier this week, I was asked one thing I wish I knew when I started painting. I can add deeper insight than I used to...๐๐ฅ๐
This week, someone came in to my studio. She saw the dragonflies I painted. The next thing I know, I was learning about her deceased son and I was gifting that painting to her with misty eyes. As I reflect on that, I realize...
Art evokes emotions. It connects us. And, it allows us to give others a gift no one else could give them. That one moment, along many others, makes my decision to pursue art (despite believing I didn't have any artistic talent) absolutely priceless!
I'm thankful for all who have been a part of my journey! Those whom I've learned from, those who have encouraged me, those who have taken classes from me, and even those who silently follow. You've made a difference in my world, & I appreciate it!
Fun fact: The painting is from my first year of learning.
