I've got some art supplies and I'm going to paint.
I created a painting about a year ago that really made me understand where I personally come from with this method of self-expression.
I actually think it's very powerful and from my personal experience, there's an element of psychic expression involved.
People pick up on the emotion behind the painting...
I paint my emotions.

I'll be sharing some of the artwork soon... everything I've made up til now is pretty personal.
I also painted my own tarot deck. I actually really love it. Maybe I'll share that sometime.

Wow, your own deck. I've got a rider-waite. classic but kinda boring ;)
I do oil paints, trying to find my style. Which way to go, truth or beauty?

Photography kinda stole realism from the painters
Painters really had to earn their keep, express what the camera never could.
Then everything got too conceptual.
I'll scream if I see another exhibition where the painter has spent more time conveying the 'concept' than on the painting itself.

ALWAYS truth...
There's beauty in truth whether the truth itself is beautiful/happy or not.
It's the feeling behind it, the reason, the intention.
