A picture tells a thousand words. Is this true and what does the image say about the artist?
I love fantasy artwork. It is mind expanding in a safe, healthy sense of the term. Past meets future in an experience shared between the author and the viewer. Just like books.
When I draw I sometimes get frustrated with my current lack of technique. I want to be able to paint to the same standard as the many images I see on the Internet. I want have on paper or screen what I already 'see' in my mind's eye. Art for me is even more potent than words.
And it lifts my mood.
Art can make a statement. It can be a tool or weapon. It can do amazing things for the human psyche. The detail of a drawing can absorb the attention so much as to distract the observer from all kinds of emotional harm that life has thrown in the way.
And in its simplest form it free to produce.
Why not take up drawing or painting if you do not already practice. Discover the secrets that are hidden within and revel in the joy of creating something.
Life a better life. Share with others what you see inside. It is a good thing to do.
Why not?
