You Know You're an Artist If ...

I love this:

You know you're a true artist if:
You buy expensive brushes, and have nothing to do your hair with.
You get a feeling of calmness from holding and stroking the bristles of your clean paintbrushes.
...When going on a quick errand in your painting cloths you're finding people rave over the 'fashion statement' you didn't even realize you were making.
You know the difference between beige, ecru, cream, off-white, and eggshell.
You know more than 28 colors.
You paint more than you talk.
You draw your letters instead of write them.
You like to get plastered and paint the town red.
You're in love ... with your studio.
You know that art does not match your sofa.
You can make a whole painting using burnt sienna.
You touched-up your walls with Gesso.
Everyone wants you to paint their cat or dog for twenty dollars.

Have I mentioned my cat?

One of my favourite colours is vermilion. Most people don't even know what that is.
Hey Jon, will you paint my cat for $20.

If I had a studio I'd be in love with it, does that count?

Clever. The reason I know I'm NOT an artist is because I can't even draw a decent stick figure.

You can make a whole painting using burnt sienna.I've done this.
You paint more than you talk.
You draw your letters instead of write them. Do both of these too. Guess I'm in good company and on my way to becoming an artist. This is cute.
