I call myself an artist. But I really don't see myself as one. My sketches and paintings are an effort to paint a picture as closely to the real thing as possible. But in that there is no creative spark, its simply a copy. I look at other artists who actually create. Beautiful paintings that give the impression of the real thing but done in a style so unique and so creative (for lack of a better word) that it takes my breath away. Those artists don't have to paint every detail, every minute brush-stroke. They see what is, and then they see what could be. They paint the feeling of the image. I just paint the image...
