Showing character in art

Art drawn or painted from the heart and soul is generally a reflection of the artist's character and his or her thoughts at the time. It's a bit like handwriting but more open and easier to read. Some artists are spiritual in showing mystical works, others are religious in painting light, churches, ghostly scenes. I might add that these artists are also spiritual. Some are nostalgic when they choose subjects such as old houses and buildings or old cars, etc.

Artists that specialize in painting women's portraits and figures obviously like the female form. Nothing wrong with that. It's all art and it all comes from the heart and soul of the artist. That is why artists turn down certain commissions. Because they know they can't at the time put their heart and soul into the work and therefore will not do justice to the subject matter.
