Just curious if there are any other artists/would-be artists/oil painters on this site. If so, does your secular mindset affect your art or your selection of subject matter? I've not noticed any influence of my own art, but really haven't given it much thought. I do interact with other artists that run the full gamut or beliefs, but most seem to be awestruck by the beauty of nature and the world around them. It would be great to hear your feedback.
Just started my first art class yesterday. I'll let you know but as I'm a beach bum surely religion doesn't cause a different perception of sand and surf
