The Painting

It all starts in the mind.

Your mind is what controls the free-flow of ideas.

Your mind decides what your original design will contain.

The canvas is a blank world waiting to be discovered.

It is the foundation of the work.

The pencil is the creator of artwork.

It makes unique ideas come true.

The paint is what brings it to life with color.

The paintbrush is what applies the color and life to the painting.

And ultimately it is the painting that brings happiness and joy.
