I'm not a good artist but when asked what I should paint, I was told me, being happy. Happiness isn't defined by one item or one expression. It's a collective of things that can't always be seen or explained easily. Here's my happiness.

I finished this piece up today, inspired by the draw along challenge hosted by @therosemoth. I can't draw, but I can gild 😁 Today's prompt was 'beetle and snapdragon seedpods'. • If you're not following along please have a look at #therosemothartclub there's some really lovely unusual art being made, and it's so uplifting to see. • This piece has a bit of a story, but I'll save that for another post. So happy to have finished in time for today's art prompt (even if he doesn't count because he's 3D 😂). He will be available in the next update (date tbc). • And thank you to everyone who joined for another live video today!

Went to a painting class with my family, it was a good time~

The judgemental artist. He is not like you, he is better. His works do not simply tell stories, every single brush stroke, every bit of graphite and every last pixel includes an entire universe. He is not just an artist, he is a business man. He always knows what his customers want, without adjusting to trends or copying art styles. You could never meet his expectations. He does not simply create Art, he breathes and lives Art, he is Art. No matter what you create, he will always be there to critique it. He will find a fault, nothing is ever going to be good enough for him, perfect enough. You can let yourself become beaten down by him, broken by his critiques, his expectations and, in the end, just give up. Or you can grow through him. Let him push you up to the next level and learn, that he is not just a voice in your head. He is a part of you. Der Künstler in Dir. Er ist nicht wie du, Er ist besser. Seine Bilder erzählen nicht nur Geschichten, jeder Pinselstrich, jeder Graphit Krümel  und jedes Pixel beinhaltet ein ganzes Universum. Er ist nicht nur Künstler, er ist auch Geschäftsmann. Er weiß immer was seine Kunden wollen, ohne sich jemals Trends anzupassen oder Stile zu kopieren. Du wirst niemals so gut sein wie Er. Er schafft nicht nur Kunst, er atmet und lebt Kunst, er ist Kunst. Egal was du erschaffst, Er ist da um es zu beurteilen. Immer hat er etwas auszusetzen, nie ist etwas gut genug für ihn, perfekt genug. Er wird immer da sein. Du kannst dich von ihm unterkriegen lassen, zu Grunde gehen an seinen Kritiken, seinen Erwartungen und am Ende einfach aufgeben. Oder du wächst durch ihn. Lässt dich von ihm auf die nächste Stufe schleifen und lernst, das er nicht nur die Stimme in deinem Kopf ist. Er ist ein Teil von dir. @jakeparker thanks for pushing me to finish things, not perfecting them. #art #painting #theinnerartist #heswatching #finishednotperfect #gouache #portrait #seriousface #hesjudging #overcomingfear #icantpaint
