Acrylic Original: "Luna Fantasy"
Hi All.....
I hope your Holidays were awesome, and your New Year is looking bright! I am about to start a new series of paintings and change the look of my art studio. I have a whole new series planned and I am anxious to start painting. I have to say that this last year has been my worst sales since I started my shop on Etsy in 2009. It has been a very stressful year. You start questioning your abilities, and worst of all, your self esteem takes a nose dive. If anyone has experienced this, you are not alone! I have been a professional artist for over 35 years, and it is always "living on the edge". Living on the edge of what, you may ask.......Well let me share with you. First of all you are made of glass, whether you know it or not...You are subject to every type of critique that the "wise ones" can muster. Since you have so much of yourself showing, for the world to see, you question every nuance, every brush stroke, every emotion.........Roller Coaster does not cover it! The longer you wait for a sale, the more you are convinced that you really don't have any talent at all.....That you are just fooling yourself with the notion that you CAN bring some beauty to the world.....To be continued tomorrow.........
