RE: Young Talents And Smell Of Paint

Hello!
There certainly are some nice paintings here.
I haven't studied it, but had seen some other art across the net in the style of the first paintings. I don't know what the art world is calling it, but to me, it looks like a more modern form of cubism. Maybe it's evolution. Just my interpretation though.
Beautiful work for 11th graders or artists of any age. I can't imagine being able to have gone to an art school where art was a big focus along with the other studies. That would surely give a young person a running start into their later art life.

I'm attending each year and the amount of talent you see is amazing. I'm always wondering where these students will be in 10 years, or 20.
I wonder if any of them will choose not to make art their life. I had a cousin who had talent at least by her teens and she did later attend art school, but she married and had children and got involved in other things and to my knowledge, creating art was never in her adult life. I was delivering one of my paintings to her SIL on her husband's side of her family who was going to take it to my cousin when she visited next and she had gone to the same art school and her professor told her that my cousin had great talent, so it wasn't just a family opinion.
That may happen to a lot of people, you love art, but other parts of your life prevail and you don't really do anything with it.
It's sad story as a great talent is lost, but it depends on the individual too. It depends on how strong your desire to create is. Family always takes priority and having kids makes it difficult to find time, but if you don't do it, no one will. Creating art can be therapeutic as well, so it's not just about creating.
Let's hope they can find the strength and motivation to continue.
