"We all take different paths in life, but no matter where we go, we take a little of each other everywhere." (Tim McGraw)
As a continuation of the Artist in you thread....
"Sometimes I look at a painting by another artist and I see a universal language that we're both trying to express. I feel that we're on the same path, that we share the same intentions, and that's inspiring to me. " (Birgit O'Connor)
"At moments we are all artists."(Arnold Bennett)
"The wonder is that artists can stimulate other artists." (Nick Farbacher)
"The artist is not a different kind of person, but every person is a different kind of artist." (Eric Gill)
All the quotes above make a ripple in my soul and they are true,I couldnt resist sharing them.
Where are you my dear Art friends?
Would love to see your Artwork.
Disclaimer:It is upto each of you to protect your original works from being copied,please do take the neccessary steps to stop piracy of your work.
As a performing musician in Greenville, SC, I want you to know that what you wrote here means more to me than I can express. It's everything I ever wanted someone to stop and say to me, wether sitting on my steps picking acoustic or playing a show downtown.
Thank you so much.
More people feel this way (the way Cal expressed so eloquently) than you know. We express a lot of times on this site, the visual arts we are involved in and we are able to put an image on the site that one can view but perhaps do not include the other types of art often enough although a few of us have tried to have the art threads to be all inclusive of all forms of art. It is good to also have threads that are subject or art specific to address questions in more detail but having been one who attempted "violin, guitar, ukele, piano and singing", and enjoyed it but never excelled in any of them, I would love to hear more of what inspires performing aritists, what drives you to excel? What do you go through emotionally when you are in front of people performing your art, whether it is music, acting, etc. Some, like myself, are content to paint or draw and not be in front of people but generally while we are creating our art, we are listening and being moved by music being played in the background. From the beginning of time, beat of music, rhythm and movement has been at the very core of our being. Even though I do not perform, how I admire and respect those who do. Please share your background with us and whatever you feel free to share with us regarding your music.
I sign for the deaf and what so many people miss is that the deaf can feel the beat of the music, even though they do not "hear with the ears" the music, they hear the music in their hearts. They feel the vibrations, the variations of vibrations, the intensity of vibrations sometimes by placing their hand on the piano or guitar, or just feel it through the floor. Music is a ministering balm. My son played the guitar and sang to his children while his wife was pregnant with them. When they would get fussy when they were babies, he would get the guitar out and play like he did then when they were still in the womb and they would immediately calm down. One day, my precious daughter-in-law (and one of my best friends in life) was at home with the baby and he got fussy and she was getting nervous being a new mother and my son was a work. She knows nothing about music in terms of playing music but got my son's guitar out and simply strummed, did not play chords, simply strummed and the baby became calm. Isn't that just amazing? It is to me!

Hello, Bedell! Nice to see another musician artist like myself here!
I hope that you don't mind, Moparbyfar. But, I just enhanced the image of your drawing a little bit so that others could appreciate the detail that went into it. If this is not okay, then I can remove this post. Please let me know. Thanks!
Thanks Clough, I should remember to do that next time. Thanks also for the nice feedback guys. I look forward to seeing work from other members on here soon. Got anything new to share Clough, or Jrebel, Firm? Anyone? My stuff feels a bit lonely here apart from the lizard and his friends. I understand it's summer where most of you are. Wintery days here. Bbbrrrr!
I need to go out to buy a wood splitter and get cracking on the pile out back. Enjoy your sunshine guys! Bye for now.
I should have checked the index to see if I had posted leaves or not. Sorry if it is a repeat. I use acrylic paint but finish them with Polycrylic clear coat, two coats. I like for them to set in a bowl or pretty dish on a table but do best if in a shadow box. I did a large on in a shadow box. I don't think I have that one scanned.
