My entry to the "Pay It Forward Curation Contest - Week 45"
This is my entry for the Pay It Forward Curation Contest - Week 45 hosted by @pifc.
The rules of this challenge are very simple: Feature 2 High Quality Original Content Blog Posts from Steemians with a reputation score of 55 or under.
This week I bring you two artists who have recently joined the Steem Network: @clareartista and @roveana.
Here's the preview of their latest posts:
#1 - @clareartista (47)
Clare Galloway joined the Steem Network on January 9, 2019. She describes herself as a Visionary Artist from a hillside on a Scottish island, currently living and working in an Italian medieval quarter.
On her #introduceyourself post, @clareartista explains that she has joined Steem because "mainstream 'social' media has been increasingly aggressive about censoring her art."
The post I'd like to feature is Wise Woman Changes Landscape painting and it's a DTube video about a painting that was hanging in the wall for a long time without selling and where you can listen to @clareartista saying she decided to do something about it.
She then explains what the painting is about and let us understand a bit her creative process.
I think @clareartista has made a wise decision to come to this platform and her content is quite good. What a nice addition to our platform. All I can say please keep up showing us your awesome pieces! We'll be here to support you!

#2 - @roveana (49)
Ana Verónica is an Art Student from Venezuela who joined the Steem Network on December 20, 2018. She uses this blog to talk about her favourite things... and of course, to showcase her artistic skills.
In the post I've selected from @roveana she shares her thoughts and feelings and shows us a very cool and interesting piece, which represents a broken mirror.
@roveana post is very good, as the art and her thoughts are so intertwined. I hope you are prepared for an emotional ride.

# Final Thoughts
At the time I'm writing this, both posts have little rewards, with $0.10 and $0.14, which is truly ridiculous, considering the amount of work both artists have put on these publications.
In my opinion @clareartista and @roveana have been doing a very good job and I wish I'd come across them even sooner.
I usually have a suggestion or two for the artists but today I have nothing to say. @clareartista and @roveana are doing a terrific job so far. 😄
I'd like to point out that the NTopaz project is exclusively dedicated to artists and their artworks and I believe you can take advantage of this, to increase your exposure on this platform. (You can use your STEEM keys to login at that site; Any post from NTopaz will be automatically visible in SteemIt.)
Please give them some love and support. Any help is appreciated.

They are both special artist @trincowski, but you know that you need to engage with many artists too to get aknowledgement or even small upvotes from community, there are so many artists in steemit right now, a beginner to a pro, but it takes time to make them got the nice payout. don't forget, people have preference too. Thanks for your art explosive initiative all this time. .. aargghh.. Now I remember that I made a promise to check on it because I sit in front of my laptop..LOL.. see you later
I think we need to attract more people to this initiative with honey, candies and chocolate... I mean, where is everybody?
I dunno... maybe you need to do that too, but not everybody always around i think, they havevtheir own innitiatives. Some might be busy or giving up because they're interesting on arts? Im not even fond many people on steemmonsters too.
I wasn't talking about my post in particular but about the @pifc initiative. Last week there were only 7 entries, it was kind of depressing, after a couple of weeks with over 20 entries!!!
Well.. I don't have a clue .. I need to drag them back once again I think. It's hard to compete the veterans you know 😂😂
