There is the artist and there is the artisan or craftsman. It's easy to confuse the two. Hitting a good forehand in tennis takes a lot of practise and skill. Lots of people can do it. There are thousands of skilled tennis players But people will fall over themselves to go watch Federer hit a ball. Because what he does is way beyond just skill. Its art. If you want to call yourself an artist just skill is not enough. When you understand that you automatically produce work that will get appreciation.
