What did Janet Rutkowski say? "it is what it is"... I can relate! I also agree with Ries, "The fact is, most people who are artists, cant help it."
I have found that if I can't create in one way shape or form, I get depressed. My husband can vouch for that... not fun, not fun at all.........If you have 'art' in you, it has a way of coming out in your life. I believe it's the job of the artist to help others to see the world in new ways; to take a closer look at what is around them. Also it's the artist's job to have fun and enjoy their ability to create....
I'm also Very fortunate to have a spouse who supports my 'habit' but is also my teacher in so many ways. He is the one who got me started in metal work, having been a millwright for 30 years and a hobby blacksmith on the side. He saw talent and believed in me before i did... fortunate is putting it mildly... anyway... obviously a lot of great thinkers on this site...
art for art sake or how to make a living at what you love to do?
