I have been into art for years,know art history, I even used to paint.
I was average. Then I Went through a lot of emotional trauma, when I lost my soulmate, and I had what I would call "an art block". In other words, I just couldn't put heart/thoughts, together with brush
It was very frustrating to not be able to express all those emotions.
Then, 11 years later, I picked up a box of pastels and started drawing, and all at once I formed my own little style. I laughed as I cried, I was so overcome with happiness. So, in a way, I am a new artist, discovering everything with a new eye, and a new medium.
Life is so much happier and worth liv
