Are you an Artist?

[snuggleycutejc]

Today is International Artist Day. I love art. When my kids were small, we went to art shows they were excited to go. Can you paint? Ever done a paint-by-number set? Do you do ceramic statue? Do you put together car models? I never put together the car model. Have a gr8 day

my sister is an artist.
she was commissioned to illustrate two adult coloring books.
she uses every type of medium: pencils, acrylic paints, etc.
she has done portraits, sketches, etc.
she taught an art class and had a store front studio.

Sort of - I'm a cake decorator by trade.  But I do like to play with royal icing for doing cookie art.  Sometimes some of the cakes I create with fondant and other edibles do resemble art.  I've heard people say, we can't possibly eat that - it's a work of art. 

[krystalkissxo]

In a matter of speaking yes.

I'm an artist - I was a professional musician for a number of years.  I programmed music on the synthesizer and played keys, guitar, flute and I sang.  Kind of a one person band.

I am not, but I always wish I had that talent!

I used to love to draw for hours before having kids. I did pass that along to my kids though both of them enjoy to draw now.

[JediJohnnie]

Yeah, I draw my own comics by trade. But I also paint on canvas once in a while.

[elvisdo]

Yes I am. I've been drawing since I was 8 and haven't stopped.

[linderlizzie]

I know it's still inside me, but I haven't really done much drawing since I was a child.

I do other things at times, like macramé when I was a young mom. Does anybody remember that? 

[timvolley]

i definitely not an artist but appreciate the skill of an artist

I don't think I am a true artist, but do love painting on my gourds and have worn some  blue ribbons for them.  It is something I like to do. I grow the gourds, then hubby helps   clean then out for me as I am allergic to the dust  when they are being ground  out. But then it is my time to create something with them.  I call it my quite time as I like for it to be really quite when working.

I love art. I 've been drawing since I was a small kid. My dad used to bring home books to help me learn techniques to get better

[renee10]

I feel that I am because I used to paint and draw when I was younger. It's still there but I don't practice it like I used to.

[LaTashaS28]

No I am not an artist but I do love to look at the beautiful art.
