don b a dreamer

I have a dream to become an artist. This is what I truly want to do with my life or something along the lines. It is important to me because it comes from my creative self and I am sure that if my dreams come from my heart and spirit, God is readily available to me when I decide to live my dream. What should I do to make it come true? I have not done much about it yet. The only thing that I have done is I picture what I desire as if it has already happened. I picture myself painting in a big gallery, full of beautiful abstract and modern frames. I allow this picture to be as vivid as possible. Sometimes it freaks me out, because I do not know where to begin; However, I know that I have to start drawing and painting (which I did a few months ago) or I will never be able to fulfill my dream. Besides, I need to come up with some kind of idea on how one becomes an artist. I also would like to open my eyes to all types of art and meanwhile visiting and seeing other artists would help me figure out what type of art I am mostly interested. In addition, I have to develop my artistic nature. For example, I have to learn about colors, shades, and how to use them or train my eyes to focus on structures, colors, and values. This is my most ambitious goal, and it is one that I could never lose my motivation to achieve.
