Art is pure Joy. If anyone would tell you different, then they're obviously in the wrong hobby. On the canvas, the wood, the computer screen, the clay or the paper, art is in the basest sense: creation. A chance to capture beauty, sorrow, anger, envy, all the things that make us human. A chance to make a story, create a being, form a landmass, anything at your disposal. So when you tell me that art is suffering... you my friend... are wrong.
