I want to play!

I found a whole magazine dedicated to Artful Blogging and how Artists are using their blogs to enrich their creative endeavors. They are participating in things like Illustration Friday where you submit and illustration based on the theme of the week. I want to play! So hopefully from here on out instead of hiding my journal pages in books or my illustrations in folders and drawers you will see some of them posted here. I can post my digital artwork, my photography, my pencil drawings and egads! paintings if I am brave enough!

I have come to realize that I don't need to paint masterpieces I just need to paint - period! What is good art? It is good because it fulfills that need for creativity to pour out of my soul in an expressive way? Or is it good because it looks like one of the Masters paintings? I look at some of Picasso's paintings and Van Gogh's and really by my standards some of them aren't all that good! But what I am learning is that good doesn't matter as much as the doing. Your art will always be appealing to someone, somewhere! It is all about finding your artist voice, and letting it out - WITH PASSION! So having said that here is my place to let my artist voice pour out!
I am joining the artistic blogging revolution!
