Creating things and experimenting is the fun part of art.                                For me Creating art brings things back together, it's a way to express myself and feelings. I enjoy things It's fun Making things.  Making art for others is stressful, you have to find what you think they would find aesthetically pleasing, risk their judgement, hope for their praise, and all that.
