Throughout the years there have been many artists who have shown their emotions through every stroke of their paint brush. The say that "beauty is in the eyes of the beholder" and how true this is when it comes to art. I have only been painting for 8 years and through these past 8 years have brought out my feelings and thoughts on a piece of watercolor paper with a brush holding a rainbow of many beautiful colors. It doesn't matter what subject you paint as long as it comes from your heart.
There are so many subjects to choose from, but if the artist is emotionally upset, you will usually be able to detect it in his or her paintings. Sometimes the colors will be dark and carelessly strewn across the paper or canvas when days seem upsetting. However, the artist that is happy and carefree will put out a painting of such glorious and bright colors, showing the world how happy he or she is. Their paint brush will glide across the paper or canvas like an ice skater on a smooth and glossy body of frozen water. They will complete their paintings quickly and then sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor. The artists who is having trouble expressing themselves, will look over their work many times before they are content with the results they have just displayed and only then when everything is perfect show their art to the world.
All types of artists, whether it be a painter, sculptor, carver, writer, etc., will depict their feelings throughout their works. I, myself, try not to paint on days when I am feeling down as I don't like my work to show if I am sad or upset. Van Gogh and Salvatore Dali had art work of splashing color, but if they were upset it didn't come out in their works and we all know what life styles they had.
So pick up your paint brushes, pens, carving tools and express your feelings. Who know if you are having a bad day, that expression of art might just change your mood.
