In the Eye of the Beholder

Me and one of my sisters went shopping yesterday for her paint supplies. She's very excited to begin her new venture. She and I are the same in the sense that we aren't exactly what would be considered,"Artistic". But, what is artistic anyway? Someone who could duplicate a Thomas Kincade? Yes, some would consider that artistic. But what about Pollock? His art is still seen in galleries around the world and is highly regarded as an "Abstract artist". He was laughed at and rediculed by his peers at one time. But now his work is taught around the world and as I said, "He is a highly regarded artist".
I think that art is like beauty. It is in the eye of the beholder. What may be art to me, may look like nothing but paint smeared on a canvas to someone else. And how can we judge somebody else's art. That would be like judging someone's heart. Because art is a reflection of your heart. The interpatation of one's heart is poetry in motion. It can be expressed in many ways. And paint on a canvass is just one of these ways.
