There is such joy in the awsome beauty and grand wonder of God's vast creation that it invokes one's heart to not only seek the source of that joy, but to also share. One soon realizes that it is the people with whom you share the Creator's beauty and wonder that lead you to the source of the joy.
I like to teach painting lessons to new beginners to invoke a passion in them for pursuing their hidden gifts; one Saturday per month in the open air areas around San Diego. We usually go out in a group to Balboa Park & other sites near facilities so it is safe and convenient. The lessons are free.
Also, mixing with other artists in associations and outings is key to growing in breadth of interest and experience.
