What is one thing I wish I had started earlier in life? This is a WordPress prompt, and immediately I say, being an artist. Looking back, art was always with me. I am an artist, it’s who I am, it’s the gift that I have been given.

My imagination helped me imagine worlds in books and sometimes a comforting place. I love the moments when I can be in a room full of children and watch them paint. I always ask, ” How did you come up with that idea?” They always say, I don’t know; I just did it!” That answer is golden! I teach them art, yet they teach me!

There have been many days when painting has helped me relax and gather myself. It’s like I reflect on all that wasn’t me and let that go. Then I am overcome with this really good sense of peace and who I truly am!

Going back to the gift that I have been given, art is my one true love that never disappoints. It’s the one constant that has always been there for me. Yet I left it for a time being. I’ve always appreciated that I was unique; we all are. But society has its ways of molding you.

Thanks for reading. You have no idea how much I appreciate your kind words. Perhaps you do now. If you want to purchase any of the art in this post, click on the image.
