What Makes a True Artist?

Spectators and critics visit every gallery to see what they think is ART. Most of the time no one knew their tastes. Do artist paint to conform the demand? Do they paint to make money or for fame? I guess not! Their passion motivates them to create. Its an expression of ones self. His emotions - happiness, hope, despair, anger or simply when mind is idle. It's an outlet of all this feelings which they find hard to express. It's like a mirror of their soul. Art is not judged in the beauty of a piece but for the message it conveys. If it can touch your heart, if it can attract your eyes, make you stop for a while and think why?

An Open-Heart Surgery Survivor

I'm glad to let you know that I have undergone Open-Heart Surgery last May 2004. I'm recovering fast, just that, i'll have to take lifetime medications to keep me enjoying the gifts of life... I had mitral valve replacement... but not to worry, coz im perfectly fine!

I owe my heartfelt gratitude to my family who never left me during my lowest moments, my friends who offered blood-their own life support so i can make it, and all others who have expressed their sympathy to my situation... I thank GOD so much for this blessing, at the time when i felt that death summons for me, i was not afraid coz i'm ready... but then i realize that its hard

Nicely done, however, it doesn’t look like josh; especially eyes and eyelids.
