Chickadees and Questions . . .

Photobucket

This is very much a work in progress here.  I started this yesterday afternoon.  It's a pair of chickadees . . . and quite far from being finished at this point.  I've only used the one colour so far . . . black in varying shades.   I am almost afraid to touch another colour to it for fear I will ruin it.

What makes an artist an artist?   I find myself pondering that question these days.   I did not have the benefit of going to art school like I wanted to when I was younger.  All that I do is very much hit and miss . . . education by accident, and hopefully I learn more from my mistakes than I ever would have learned in school.  

I only know for sure that I am compelled to create.  Does that make me an artist?
