Art is

Why do I make art? Why do I make art? Why do I make art? This question sounds so easy on paper but when you think about it, it is really hard. Every reason that I think of usually sounds good in my head but, when I write it down it sounds so, well, how should I put this? Terrible! I make art to express my individuality as it is. Nothing more, nothing less.   However my art turns out, it turns out. I am not concerned with the product because it can always be changed and made better.   It's the thought of my art that counts and what the meaning of my art is.  Whether the viewer understands, interprets or even likes what they see is up to the viewer.  I cannot control that.  Or can I?  Do I paint for the viewer or paint for myself?  Or, am I my own viewer?  Do I understand what I am doing?  Am I extrapolating my own work?  Am I painting for myself? Am I really painting so I can extrapolate my own work and comment on it to see what I meant, what it represents and what it means that I did not intend?  The answer to all these questions is, I don't know but it may be my responsibility to find out as an artist and adventurer into this unknown world.


 I can do things that the world secretly wishes it could do simply because I can. That's it. Thats art.  I am brave and special because I think and convinced myself that  I am which causes me to persue my talents as an artist.   By convincing  myself that I am special I become special, or do I?  Again, creativity allows me to explore and find out.
