Art is a special gift... Not everybody can do it... When I say art, I am also referring to all arts... drawing, painting, sculpting, music.....
I have mentioned my graphical abilities, but I can also talk to music... Our eldest daughter is a musician... I remember her at age 5 pecking at a toy piano trying play some of the tunes that she had heard... Today she has her Masters in Music Education and Music Performance... Accomplished with many instruments from strings to brass. Although she currently lives in Hawaii, we see her almost weekly in special podcasts that she performs.
There was a time when I thought that it would cool if she and I were to play a duet together... So I pick the Cello, since I have always loved its sound... I hired a teacher and took lessons for two years... at which time my teacher provided me with the following evaluation...
"Chuck" she said, "I have enjoyed working with you for the last two years... And I know that you have worked hard... But after two years, you know a lot of notes."
She was right on in her evaluation... I tried hard, but when I played, I played notes... I did not play music... There was no passion in the sounds that I produced...
So when you have a talent, and hopefully supported by your parents, run with it... It's a gift!
Art is to be shared... Thank you for sharing!
