Today was a bad art day.

Welcome. If you’re new here, you’ve stumbled upon my art journey and today was a bad art day. I dont know if it was a combination of stress, anxiety, mixed with a hint of feeling rushed. But, the two pieces I created look pretty bad from my perspective. Yes. I am going to be my own worst critic. I’m not sure what the hell I’m doing wrong here though.

I started this journey sometime around March of my birthday 2021. I declared that I would get back into what I loved as a child and make several pieces of art that would bring me fame and fortune. I can do without the fame. But, like many artist, I would love to be able to support my journey with cash made from completed works. This goal to make “good art” seems far out of reach.

This is irritating, yet I dont want to give up so soon. I want to do this. Teaching myself how to paint and draw is healing to my soul. It’s another way for me to express myself. Plus, I spent a lot of money on supplies. I’d be a fool to stop.

A question I need to start asking myself is what type of art do I want to make that I would view everyday with adornment. I do like to look at occult art and esoteric art.

I grew up around spiritual people, in and out of several churches. I’ve seen some grow into a beautiful fellowships while others crumble leaving members like helpless sheep thrown out to the wolves. I would love to translate those memories and feelings not only into fiction, but art as well.

I also need to set a goal rather than jumping from medium to medium. Ill continue to do a sketch a day, but focus on oil, particularly on my brush strokes for now.

Thanks for stopping bye!!!
