Why Paint?

0 min read
So I pose a question, Why Paint? Why make any art in that case. Some make art for themselves as a form of an emotional connection to a piece or a way of coping. Others make art to sell and make a living. Some do both. Why do I paint? I paint for myself as a way of thinking about the world and coming to terms with the evils in the world. Being a religious man as well I paint to find God's goodness in the world. I find that in observing the creations either of the landscape or of human figures, and the things that come from both. I paint to find some connection with the world and to continue to improve my skills. Perhaps under selfish reason
