Hi Folks,<\/p>\n
Lets wrap it up!<\/p>\n
I have been quite tardy in sending out my art blogs and to be truthful I have no excuse other than I’ve been busy.\u00a0 But I thought I had better send one more for this year as my token Christmas gift to you all.<\/p>\n
An over view of my year in teaching has brought some new insights for me on why people ‘create’\u00a0 .\u00a0 I hosted 3 art shows this fall: \u00a01. for my adult students and another for my young students and lastly one for myself.\u00a0 I found it interesting people’s expectations and reason for participating in these events , including my own.\u00a0 On one hand if we look at the monetary gain , modest at best,\u00a0 no one in their right mind would think about making a living by creating art in any form.\u00a0 So why do we bother coming to class or sit in our studios and paint? \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Good question you may ask!\u00a0\u00a0 We do it because of the joy it brings us. \u00a0We do it for it the challenges that face us on deciding what colours to use or how to create an image others will enjoy.\u00a0\u00a0 Art is a solitary endeavor, yet during the time we spend within our own minds we find through all the frustrating challenges, peace and contentment.\u00a0 How many people do you know who seek happiness and never find it?\u00a0 Yet you have found the secret !\u00a0\u00a0 So keep on painting and as an added bonus, as you have also discovered, \u00a0that coming to class \u00a0opens up an even great door, a door of \u00a0new found friendship and companionship.<\/p>\n
To all of you I wish you a very happy holiday and a happy and healthy New Year<\/p>\n
Happy Painting<\/p>\n
Cheers\u00a0\u00a0 Georgia<\/p>\n
