There are probably many reasons to paint, sculpt, create
art, play an instrument, sing etc.
Personally I paint for many reasons, but the main reason is
because it makes me feel good. Art is a form of nourishment for the soul, an inner
necessity.
I have this need to satisfy my inner spirit because it
brings me happiness, relieves stress and boosts my energy.
There is this part of my personality that pushes me to
paint, because it gives me pleasure, lifting my spirit and to continually
increase my creative juices.
When I’m painting, I have a tendency to get lost in my
painting, zoning out, and losing all track of time, to the point of forgetting
to eat or going to bed.
I try to paint as much as possible, when too much time
passes between paintings, I have this feeling that I’m missing something. It’s
like an addiction, a need to paint (create art) to feel satisfied.
