Why do so many successful songwriters also paint pictures?
(ie. Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan)
Answer:
...John Lennon, more.
Some people are good at math and science, and other are good with the arts. Music and art (as well as acting, writing, etc.) go together--all from the same side of the brain.
Another outlet to their creativity. I do know that Joni Mitchell started out singing and recording to pay for her paints. She works her music to support her visual arts. As for Dylan and his like? Probably just another outlet for their creativity.
Musicians (singer/songwriters in particular) are artists. Artists tend to be extremely creative, imaginative people, and many prefer not to limit themselves to a single creative outlet. They frequently "dabble" in one or more forms of art outside the principal medium which they use to support themselves.
because they are artists?
They are artistic people who love to express themselves in many different ways artistically.
I paint, so I would say it's just another way to express yourself.
This is because they where blessed with the gift of being artistic!!
hobby?!
cause they feel hey have nothing better to do or its just there hobby.
well, once an artist, always an artist. They see things in a different perspective and they show the world that perspective via medium, e.g. music, art, sculptures. But this does not mean that they concentrate on only one medium. I write and draw and paint as well. It's just that at that particular theme, the artist think that that is the best medium to "capture" it. Songs may be sad, happy etc. Art is also the same.
because they are artists
Because if they can express themselves in music they can express themselves in art, because music is a type of art.
They may paint for relaxation.
Maybe because some words cannot contain the true beauty of the picture. There are pictures words cannot describe.
