Il Dolce Far Niente

It makes me so sad to know that my passion for art isn’t going to get me anywhere in the world. I love art. There really hasn’t even been any projects or styles of art that we practiced in class that I disliked. Painting is my all time favorite though. I can’t even explain how much I love painting. It just saddens me to know that artists aren’t appreciated as much as they should be. Artists do not get payed well, and are not as needed in today’s society as engineers or other technology based jobs. I just wish that I could grow up, become an artist, and live every day just creating art. That would be the best life imaginable, yet it’s so unrealistic. I am going to need to make money in the future, and a job involving art is not exactly the most high paying job. Art is my passion and it depresses me that I’m not going to be able to express my passion every day in the future.
