What is art?  
Does it need a lofty purpose?  
Is it something we acquire to impress someone?  
Is it a tangible souvenir from a flashy party with A-list attendees?  
What gives art its value?  
Experience, education, execution, expression?  
These are long argued questions.  
Only the person who cherishes it really understands its value.  
The value of a piece of art is solely determined by its significance to its owner.  

blah. blah. blah.  

I paint.  
Paint is my language, the canvas my conversation.  
Translations are rarely accurate, but feelings convey honest and true.  
I have something to settle with every canvas.  
I think deeply.  I am human.  
I have questions to answer, hurts to overcome, happiness to share.  
I have things I must inscribe to remind myself of the higher level of humanity.  
Someone sees a connection and I pass it on.  
I paint.
