"Leaving My Mark"
(A (very) short story by Kelly Gibbons inspired by the painting )
Sometimes paintings are inspired by the simplest things. This one for example was inspired form handprint turkey drawings! Looking at the drawings reminded me that all of us are born artist, but often forget this (or are told to forget this) as we get older. I forgot this for awhile, too. I'm glad I remembered! These simple drawings also reminded me that I've always wanted to leave my mark on this world (maybe to be remembered for something great). As a child, this meant leaving my signature everywhere (walls were my favorite spot). Not so great in the eyes of adults! Anyway, I got thinking, I will probably never be a world leader (no aspirations to be the President anyway), or famous, or the person who discovers a cure for something. But I do touch people, and one of those ways I leave my work is through painting. I paint because it brings me joy. I hope my paintings bring other people joy (I think they do). So, this is my mark. Quite simply me.
