Dating ART

A couple of years ago I begin to court the idea of painting, now three years later I'm in love.  In art you fuss and fight with a specific piece, and then after a couple of changes you make up.  Actually when beauty presents itself on the canvas you soon forget what you were fighting for in the first place.  Art can be wonderful in the beginning like any honeymoon phase until the difficult years creep up, the time when you second guess yourself because the work is no longer selling.  This is a time when you have to learn once again how to nurture art, life takes you through many phases and presents several challenges.  Advisers like Bacon, Rothko, and Warhol are at your local gallery and museum offering counseling and wisdom to anyone willing to observe and listen, often times for FREE!  I have made vows and a commitment to art, therefore we are in this together til death do us part!  Art was not my first love nor my only love, but will forever be the love of my life!
