Being a veterinarian has taught us a great deal about animal behavior and how to make sure our animals are healthy and happy. We’ve also learned a lot about human behavior and how to make sure our patients are getting the best care possible. These two fields are so intertwined it is hard to separate them. I believe the same is true with creating beautiful art. You see, when you are in the creative process, you are not just creating something visually appealing, you are also creating an “energy field” around your painting. This is especially true when you are working in a new medium. By learning a few simple secrets, you can enhance the quality of your life by creating more beautiful and more satisfying work.
