The Three Truths of Art You need to get past the mistaken idea that the measure of success with your art is money. The point of all art is to nurture your own soul and the souls of others and to improve upon the beauty of the world. The purpose of creation, my friend, is to create. Art is a beginning, middle, and end all by itself. You are creating art for your own well being and for the nurturing of others. If your art nourishes your own soul and the soul of just one other, that is enough. All the better if you can make a little bit while doing it. There are only three levels of proficiency in any art; Insufficient, sufficient, and OMG! Wow! If you are an artist, dancer, writer, or musician and youve been practicing your work for four years or longer, you can take heart in the knowledge that you passed beyond insufficient some time back. Remember you will always be your own worst critic and even when you think your work is half-assed, others who see it will think its great and like it just fine. When you begin to show your work around to others, youll soon discover that for every nine people you show your work to, three will be completely indifferent to it, three wont like it much at all, and three will think its wonderful. Always remember, the only person you absolutely have to please is yourself. Dewey Dirks Friend Requests Always Welcome :)
