The importance of having a passion is crucial, but having the passion of painting is life changing. With a brush in your hand, you can paint anything you want. You can express your feelings without using words, or you can make a statement of what you believe in. The feeling after finishing a painting that you put a part of yourself into is like a euphoria of its own. Not only can this help you express yourself, you can also do anything you want with the work of art you created. Whether you sell it, put it in the High Museum of Art, give it to a friend or family member, or even just place it in a drawer and never look at it again, you can relieve all tension that's built up inside of you by placing it on paper.
I love painting when I'm stressed out or upset because for the few minutes I'm engulfed in my work, I don't think about the things going on around me. I enter into my own world where it's just me and my paints. With the canvas in front of me I can create something to call my own, that no one can ever create with the same emotions and energy that I have in that moment. Creating art is necessary to my own survival, and shouldn't it be part of yours?
