On Artists....

The following is written by me. I am posting it here to remind myself and all my friends of something I feel is very important...
On Artist's, & Their Appreciation (Or Lack Of It) For Their Own Art...
"Artists are very rarely happy with their work, and they almost always have someone who they deem better than them. But if the artist learns how to create art simply for the joy of creating art, they will cease worrying whether it is 'good' or not and simply learn to enjoy it. If they succeed in doing this, they will be able to enjoy all art and realize that there really is no good or bad art - there is only art from the heart and art with no soul. For anyone in truth could be taught to render a masterpiece, but if their heart and soul is not in it, it will simply just be. Even a simple's child drawing of a stick people can be called great art, for the way the art is presented does not matter, it is the story and soul behind it that does. And that is why artists must simply seek to do what they wish and not worry about how it looks. Never drastically alter an original drawing, like wiping it clean and starting totally new. If you want to change it, draw it anew. Because everything you complete is alive in some sense to someone. And it also gives you practice to draw it again, even if you just plain trace the part of the original you want and go from there. It is true what they say - Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. So artists, allow yourself to see the beauty in all you do, and allow it to inspire you to create more. But never scorn anything you do, for when you deprecate your art, you are only hurting yourself. Because, if it is true art, art from the heart, you are only scorning a piece of yourself. And to do that is a terrible thing. So whatever art you create, cherish it. For it is a bit of yourself that can never be replaced if it is destroyed."
