Not an artist?

This last painting is my kids favorite. "The Lia Tree" caused my sons to say they's actually pay $100 for it. I know this might not be actual confirmation of me as an artist, but it sure felt good. It was inspired by "Ideals" by Valentina (one of the artists I watch).So far most of the paintings are inspired by other artists. I can take someone's idea and put my own spin on it, but original ideas are hard to come by. When I can create something beautiful from deep inside of me I will be able to comfortably call myself an artist.

Survival begins in the mind.
