Photo Friday....Art

Do you know why Andy Warhol's Campbell Soup Can paintings have made millions?

Because a barely known artist, eating soup every day, to afford his dreams....painted them.

He believed in being an artist, and became as common a name in the world of art as Campbell's Soup was in homes across America.

Never wonder if you have what it takes, only wonder if you are willing to give what it takes.

Photos are of a sculpture piece I am doing, they have nothing to do with Warhol. although he was an inspiration and a fond memory is of attending his exhibit with my sister when I was young. She has always been an inspiration to me.

I remember trying to create pottery in a studio when I was younger. I soon realized that working with clay was not for me, and to better stick with acrylics and oil pastels.

Art is an individual talent.... whether or not others appreciate the talent is an uncontrolled variable

I like most art. It's amazing how someone can take one thing and make something into a beautiful thing

My favorite thing is teaching glass. I'll teach anyone to do what I can do, and their faces just glow...they are so proud.

Very well said indeed. Some art I just don't get or understand, doesn't mean It's not good. Just not for me.
