Watercolor Painting....

I really, truly, am in love with art. The whole concept of it... Colors, blending, contrast, everything... I've been learning a lot from painting, and drawing, and growing in my art. I keep thinking I'll learn some great life lesson from my experiences with it, but I'm still waiting... I wonder what my purpose is for having the talent. I got told this weekend I have a natural talent for art... But what good is having a natural talent, if there's no purpose for having it?
