Art high?!!

When I started learning Chinese brush painting a few years ago, I could never have imagined that someday my art would actually sell and that people would be willing to pay money and take my art home. Well, guess what - at the latest art show going on at Chastain Arts Center, two of my paintings sold!!

The first time a painting of mine sold last summer, a few friends teased me saying someone must have got suckered into buying it. I had a good laugh too since I got such a kick out of the fact that someone bought what I made.

Fast forward to present day and two of my art works have been bought at this art show alone. I was on such a high today since I heard from my teacher that a second painting had sold. A friend of mine thinks that I am officially an "artist" as soon as my first painting sold. The way I look at it, I paint for the love of art and if someone buys it because they liked my work, thats just fabulous. In the meantime I will keep on learning and doing what I enjoy so much. For now though, I am grinning from ear to ear :-)
