Art

As I was growing up I had no real appreciation for art. (No not Art Smith, I do appreciate him.) You know the kind that is hanging in museums and such. I saw no real purpose for it. Over time I have begun to not only enjoy art, but also to create art myself. I now see things in a whole new light. I think my love for art grew as my love for photography grew. Where once I only took pictures to record history, I now take pictures to create something artistic. How many times have you taken a picture of something and then see pictures that someone more artistic has taken of the exact same thing and said to yourself, wow I didn't see that there. I now strive to be the one who takes the "wow" picture.

Aside from photography I have now been dabbling in graphic art design. I take a mixture of photography, computer design, fonts and other things to turn out art on my computer. Recently I had one of my digital art files printed on canvas to display in my home. It looks great. It is the first in a 3 part series. I had the first one printed so I can see how it looks on canvas. I am very happy. When I finish the other two parts I will put them on here for people to see.

Art is an expression that comes from inside of you. Sometimes I have a hard time getting it out and thus become frustrated. I feel creativity swelling up inside of me waiting to burst out. It just doesn't come on a time schedule. That is frustrating.
