The refined artist

In addition to mastering technique, composition, and knowledge of required art materials; inspiration, vision, motivation, discipline, and a healthy being are also necessary to create good art. And in doing so, there's gifted a special connection that only the artist experiences through this journey of process, and who’s reward is hopefully a completed work worthy of sharing. It's the height of excitement during the creative process with all that it entails that feeds a yearning to push and explore even further. Like a mystery that awaits the next step, the next movement of application, the continuous flow guided by emotion that in the end results in the completion of this thing called art. A refined artist is one who creates good art through this process; a creative who no longer considers it a struggle, but instead, a journey worthy of unknown ups and downs, consistent in both rewards and sacrifice. A refined artist not only welcomes the ah of a masterpiece, but can willingly welcome and accept the possibility of a failed work known only as reference for future improvement in which to build on.

It is wonderful to consider what goes into and comes from creating art. Something only the aware artist can truly feel and understand. I often look at something I created and instantly I can feel the emotion, inspiration, and learning that had passed by long ago; even before really noticing the physical aspects. Redundancy can be somewhat numbing to true awareness over time as well, so thank you!

You're welcome Mr. Colorful. Knowing when to move on or to refrain from repeated habits yielding undesirable results is one of the hardest lessons to accept in art making, especially as a beginner, yet one of the most necessary to experience in order to move on. Without them one will remain stagnate and unproductive. Happy creating!
