This is going to be a short one

When I see all the beautiful art on steemit, for example in this ulog by @eveningart, I wish I had more talent for it too. I've tried a few times when I was very young but have long resigned to the fact that visual art is something I'm just not good at.

But then, maybe my talent has only been hiding? After all, I have two children who are both creating the most magnificent pieces of art which are hanging all over my walls. And it can't be from their dad. He's an awesome musician but he can't draw any better than I can. Perhaps a mix of hidden genes that are only coming to the fore in combination with each other, haha.

Does that mean there is hope for me?

Accidental breakfast creativity

Soooo.... this morning at breakfast I happened to eat two passionfruits of different sizes and colours and put the shells inside each other ready to discard. I was just about to chuck them in the compost when I thought, hey, that looks pretty!

So I got really creative, fetched a banana and cut a date in half and the result was this:

Yes, I created that, haha

Am I an artist or what?

Haha, I wish. But no. I'm not. Maybe an artist in my home for my own amusement, or the amusement of any gracious steemian who cares to look and have a laugh.

I do look forward to have some crayon and playdough fun with my future grandchildren, but I will never expect anyone else to appreciate my creations as actual art. And if I can fool the grandchildren into thinking I'm a great artist for a little while, they'll figure it out soon enough.

Let's face it, this awesome piece above is as good as it gets for me with visual art. And I'm ok with that. Completely. I gladly leave that realm to those who actually create beautiful and meaningful and stunning looking art to enrich the world.

For me, it will always be just a bit of fun!
