New Beginings

Art is an expression of the soul.

As I'm sure you've guessed, this blog is dedicated to art. I decided to create a blog for my art as I didn't want to swamp the other one with all my paintings and sketches.
Ever since I was a kid I loved to draw and color. I was always drawing pictures, coloring, pen and paper were my friends. But I was also a little temperamental and if the drawing wasn't exactly to my liking I would scribble it up/rip it/ crumple it, and it would end up in the trash. This trend carried on into my teens and that's why I don't have many samples of my art to this day. I've tried to reverse this trend and tell myself, "even if it's horrible, but you still have to keep it". So, I do have a few scraps here and there.
Now I understand it doesn't have to be perfect.--It never is and never will be. "It's not where you're going, but how you get there that counts." Well that's true of my paintings, I have so much fun painting it doesn't matter so much anymore how it turns out in the end. It's how I feel on paper. It's my heart on canvas...so take it or leave it!
