Making Serious Art

I dropped of my piece of art at the gallery today.  I'm proud to have been accepted into the art show.

When I was there I took a peek into a room where some paintings were being stored.  I assume the paintings I saw were going to be hung in the upcoming show.  What I saw looked impressive.  I feel honored that my work has been chosen to hang alongside of these other works.

This makes me feel that my art is a serious endeavor and not just something I play at.

Another of my paintings was recently accepted for an annual show at a winery.  Although I have not seen the location I have a feeling that the show will equally impress me as a professional one.

I'm grateful to God for being able to find these opportunities to create and show art.  I have spent many hours painting to practice my skill in art.  I believe that through hard work I have improved in painting but I also believe that painting has come more naturally to me than many other people because of the skills God has given me.
