This is beautiful! I love the combination of the flowers with the wildlife. It's so vibrant and fun! I'm just learning and wondering how long it would take you to create something like this?

Please excuse this Vent... I was never successful as an online artist. I don't have a big following and I didn't have too many expectations from others. I mean I did and they did contribute to my loss in my passion. But ultimately, life happened. I knew this wasn't going to make me a living, I was in a desprate place and me and my husband just needed to do what we could to make it out. My anxiety reached its highest point, I had a falling out with my parents, I was away from my husband a lot and missed him badly, I was getting a bit of presure from him to keep drawing which just made me not want to, I was stuggling to make money, tons of debt...the works basically. That was the past 3 to 4 years. Now it's still stressful, but we're together and in a more stable place. Though I'm grateful for everything, I've only grown more Jaded and Cynical by the world and the state of things. I haven't drawn seriously in years. And recently I've come to put into words what I've been feeling for a while about art. About my art. I'm terrified to loose it because it's been my whole identity my entire life, but I felt like I was falling out of love with it and that it would never come back. I don't have that same passion for anything else either. So when you said that your relationship with art will change and it will be uncomfotable, I wanted to cry. I'm still scared that it's over and I want to try and save it. It has been a love that I have neglected for years. I don't know if it's as simple as just starting, nurturing that love and practise in hopes that my passion returns. I terrified of finding out. I used to be nicer, I used to see the world with such wonder. It and I have lacked vibrancy and hope for a long time. I want to be where you are in the moment you painted this, rediscovering you love for art. You might've given me the courage to try, as paralysed as i am. I don't know what adjustments need to be made with my relationship with art, so wish me luck I guess. I know we all need it.

Drawing from photos is the lowest form of the creative process. It reduces it to small technicalities.....which is not art. It is not being creative. You simply become good at copying.

[@nekrosis6560]

Just the process of creating, is creative, and art.
