If you are saying you have the gift of being a painter, then no, you can take your skill as a painter and explore a variety of career paths.
If you think that you have a "gift" for graphic design, but don't have the patience to be a painter, then there are still options in graphic design.

Actually, painting falls under fine arts, and while things like color theory, layout, etc., are important to ANY art-field, you definitely don't need to be a painter to be a graphic designer. Graphic designers work primarily on the computer, and it's a completely different experience working on the computer than holding a brush and painting on canvas. Do a web search on graphic design programs and you'll begin to see what's needed to learn graphic design and what graphic designers actually do.

If you have the gift then it is really necessary to have patience the both are key factors for success in Art field or anything.
Start from projects that really interests you and think about the process more than the final result, this will help you to do art activity with more patience .

You don't need to be a painter to be a graphic designer, layout, typography and other areas of graphic design do not require of strong painting skills. You need to learn to be patient though, because visual communications is 30% inspiration 70% perspiration.

No, but it helps. I hope you have some English skills you're not currently displaying, too--you may not think it's important to spell things correctly, but you should at least have the patience for that.
