If You've Ever...You're Probably an Artist

Today I had several interviews to do for Canadian Brushstroke Magazine ( www.brushstrokemagazine.com ) and I never got a minute to paint.
I do, however, have something I wrote a while back that I think you might enjoy.

The tell-tale redneck signs of creativity: If you've ever...
You're probably an Artist!

If you've ever burned your supper because you're deepening a shadow...you're probably an artist.

If you've ever spent three times what you charge for your work on supplies...you might be an artist.

If you'd rather spend all day painting the trunk of a tree than going out on the town...you must be an artist.

If you have hardly any clothes without paint on them, you're probably an artist.

If you list your assets as canvas, brushes, or pencil crayons...you've got to be an artist.

If you think an upside down vase, a coffee can and a lit cigar go well together...you're probably an artist.

If your kids can't sit in your vehicle because it's full of pieces destined for a show...you must be an artist.

If you spend more on framing than your wardrobe...you have to be an artist.

If you take more ‘reference photos’ than family pictures...you're an artist.

And... if you might be worth more dead than alive...you're definitely an artist.
