Artist Secret

Paint Brush, originally uploaded by susisco.

Here's a little secret of mine, I have a hard time believing I am an artist. I work in the arts, I paint and draw whenever I can, but just never really can convince myself I am one. I can't stop thinking of art, and always feel the need to express myself through paint/illustration. So I leave my problem to not being dedicated enough, but how do you balance out the time?

There is always an excuse for not being a working artist:
- Full time job
- Freelance work
- Socializing
- Responsibilities
- Trying to have balanced life

Once the above is figured out I still need to work on my craft. Practice, explore, improve, do more. I think this year I'm starting to believe I'm an artist. I'm def. doing more, and sacrificing more of the above. This change has made me feel better calling myself an artist. Still not fully there but getting there.

Note about the picture:
This brush I've had for a really long time and has worked and still works wonders for me. I unfortunately can't read the brand name anymore and can't remember where I got it. I love my old brushes. I hope it lasts a while longer.
