When Buying From An Artist

"When buying from an artist / maker, you’re buying more than just an object / painting. You are buying hundreds of hours of failures and experimentation.
You are buying days, weeks & months of pure joy. YOU AREN’T JUST BUYING A THING, you’re buying a piece of heart, part of a soul, a moment of someone’s life. Most importantly, you’re buying the artist more time to do something they are passionate about."

The above writing isn’t mine, but it’s to the point and I like that. And I’m not sure that anything else even needs to be added to it. Except that I would love to give credit where credit is due. I came across this on Facebook (the text anyway – not the graphic. I made that). It’s on a few pages (quite a few actually), so I don’t have any way of knowing or validating who originated it. And maybe that’s not important. What is important is the message. Art takes time, and as the old saying goes "time is money". More importantly, art is passion - that's the soul part. Think about it the next time you are enjoying art. The very nature of great art provides long lasting beauty and enjoyment. Cheers to that.
