I struggle with this all the time. I paint a few new paintings and I’m so excited. I feel I;ve finally made a painting that will touch people. And then a while later I wonder what I was thinking.
I’m in an art display this weekend. I put out a couple of pieces, not large by any means, but just a little different from I have put out before. And now hours before the show, I’m panicking.. Will my art stand up. Am I going to look like a smuck.
I know the basics. I know the elements that make a painting. I can pick out what needs to be done to a painting, or what needs to be fixed, but can I excite the viewer with what I have to offer.
As an artist every time we put our creations on display, we are putting ourselves out to the public. I think this is the scariest moment you can endure. Scarier than bungy jumping.
