While making a living from my art is an aspiration, my main focus and goal is to continue to explore and improve on my ideas and creativity. Teaching others to "see" the shapes and colors of the world around us has always been and continues to be a particular joy of mine. I feel that painting and drawing are a continuous process, not a means to an end. I am always surprised and a little disappointed when I reach the completion of a painting. The enthusiasm for my work and the creativity it evokes are continuously emerging and evolving. Please visit my website at: http://www.artfelt.com

The way color interacts, the love of Christ, how cats are, finding the joy in small things, passion, honesty, science and research, my family, art, Arizona skies.

Hi Artfelt,  I can truly relate to your comments in your "About Me"   Yes it is about seeing the colors and shapes that make up a subject,  Sometimes I suggest to others to blur their vision and see how their perception changes.  And I also think that creating art is a continuious process, a never ending developing.  I often describe the process like reading a good book each chapter develops the story, each addition of paint or texture or medium develops the painting and when you are done...it is like a good book, you place it where you can see it and are reminded of the story that touched your heart, your life....   Sometimes art is a capturing of a moment, or a feeling, or something you admire or love...


 


thank you for your comments on my work....after sending this off I look forward to discovering yours.

I have absolutely no interest in going back to school right now.  My teacher's comments came at a time when I was completely
burnt out on taking classes anyway. (I had even started skipping
classes quite a bit; and if you knew me, you'd know how out of
character that is.)  If I ever get the urge to take a class again, I
definitely will. (I've had some WONDERFUL teachers!)  But, for now my
path lies elsewhere.  I've found that if I don't listen to my
intuition/gut/that "still, small voice" inside - then things get out of
balance very quickly and I end up unhappy and full of regrets.  Right
now I have no regrets.  I feel like a phoenix starting to rise from the
burning ashes.  It's awesome.

I 'm glad your path lead you to some really great teachers. 
Your art is wonderfully expressive and beautiful!  I wish you the best
on your journey.  Thank you for visiting again and for your
comments/input.  It's nice to be able to communicate with other artists
from all walks of life and from different places.   Thanks for sharing!

P.S.  Once again, I'll put this here and on my page.

Thanks for the visit/compliments!  I went to community college for a couple of years and then to Kendall College of Art & Design for a year.  My teachers told me my work is excellent and that I'm very talented, and that I was basically  wasting my money paying tuition when I should just go out and make my art.   So I stopped going to school.  I was doing a lot of photo-realistic commissions, which kind of "killed" my creativity/fun and enjoyment of art-making;  And, I've been through some really rough times in the past few years, but now I feel the creative spark is growing brighter again.  I kind of feel like a beginner again - which is actually a good thing. Thanks again for the compliments!  And, keep doing what you love!

 

All the best,

P.S.  I'll post this response on my page too.  (I'm never quite sure whether to respond on the visitor's page or my own.)
