Mrs. Laughingpants Confession

The Art With A Purpose

Today I'm going to share with you my journey as an artist. Have you ever had the feeling to do something extraordinary and you kept putting it off. You file this thought at the back of your mind and ever so often, it surfaced. What do you do with it? I know some of you can relate to this experience. I do and that was how it was with my art before I began painting.

My Artistic Streak

I felt I was holding something inside of me that needed to come out. The dust started to gather and I wasn't doing anything. I fell in love with the idea of painting but I wasn't going anywhere with it. I even went ahead, and bought some acrylic paints, brushes, and canvases. When I brought them home, I filed them away in the closet. Now and again as I reached into the closet they came tumbling down from the shelves reminding me that they were ready and waiting for me.


The Paintings Evolved

Immediately after I relocated I began painting. Painting was effortless. My mind was content and I basked in the peacefulness of my surroundings. I find comfort and peace of mind as I began to explore the different colors and the magic they brought to my art.


Magic Happened

The pictures emerged as I painted on the canvas. I surprised myself with the quality images that came to life. After all those years, I finally gave birth to my art. What a relief! I'm happy and you should be too. Be proud of your gifts and don’t wait too long to give birth to them. You never know you might be carrying your masterpiece. So long now and don't go anywhere. I'll be right back soon.
