Paint you.

I think for most Artists we mostly all find when we start painting we paint in a traditional style.

I know I was taught as a young boy to paint like Arthur Streeton and Tom Roberts, two early Australian Artists who painted in the traditional landscape format.

I really thought this was the correct way to paint because my teachers told me so, but when I discovered abstraction in my twenties I loved it but total abstraction wasn’t for me I wanted to paint life.

A lot of Artists start out like I did and never change because it’s what they love and it’s how they paint and it’s them, they are fulfilled and they sell well, others change to a form of modern contemporary Art.

The key is to paint in the way that most fulfils you and not worry about what others are doing, there is more than enough Art lovers around for all the different genres of Art.

Find where you are most fulfilled and don’t get caught up with which genre should I paint in, time and the Muse will push you where you should go.

Painting is an expression of you and who you are, so you must paint you.
