Why Create Art?

Why does the artist create art work, or an image that they see. I believe, it's an expression of that persons state of mind, his or her contact with the world around them. The need to share their belief, wisdom, incite and true vision of the world around them.

Also the joy of creating from a blank page, the thrill of the picture evolving, never knowing what is going to be born onto that canvas. A deep expression, even an alternative world, escapism from the humdrum world around us.

Not the need for fame or fortune, but the need to express, thoughts and feelings, to give joy to others and to leave part of them selves on this world as they depart. Immortality is the key to creativity.(this time next year I'm going to be a millionaire)

As Henry Ford said"Any colour as long as its black".Because that is my preferred medium..I totally agree to paint,draw for ones own self expression,and let the viewer see there own colours,but as you may note i have dabbled in colour,and find that the mix of black and colour brings out the image a lot better.LENDS US A QUID

Art for arts sake ,money for gods sake!I paint for self expresion. If some thing looks exciting enough, or needs to be said through that medium.That is one reason why if asked to paint someones pet or child i simply reply" certianly what colour".
