W EL COME... ....TO APRIL’S EDITION OF ELEVATE YOUR ART MAGAZINE! It never fails — by the end of February, I get the gloomy weather blahs and this year, they seemed to linger into March. Yuck! But the warmth and spring sunshine have arrived and brought along with them a change in my attitude. S pring always inspires me. New beginnings, new growth, new painting skills. Now is the time when I always seem to have a painting growth spurt. Just at that moment when I feel so frustrated and BLAH about everything I paint, it seems like the warmth and sunshine bring a renewed interest in my work and an explosion of growth. In this issue, you’ll hear a few stories about frustration and pushing through it. The fruits of the labor by these artists easily speak for themselves. I’m about to reveal the secret of being an amazing artist: Never quit and always #dothework!
