If I hadn't, I imagine that I would share a lot of your same feelings. Now that my baby is 11, I'm also re-examining the journey and where it may lead.

Anytime we put our own work out there for sale we are risking rejection. You've already begun a journey; all artists start down a path that has turns & bends. Don't be afraid. When you understand that what you do is GOOD then rejection will no longer have a hold on you. You will create because you love what you do. And when you really love it, it only gets better. Our progress as artists is to always be unhappy with what we did previously because we know we can do so much better in the future. This is major growth! Own this. This is the key. Please believe me. I've been there. Do not let anyone deter you even if you have to create between midnight & 6AM. sending armloads of encouragement...Splenderosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06421992667097947469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261226412064213619.post-26826976047689453482010-06-27T19:39:18.658-07:002010-06-27T19:39:18.658-07:00I have been reading your blog for a while now -and...I have been reading your blog for a while now -and love your attitude to life. I have to say its sounds to me that you do own it.It's photography loud and clear.From my experience its about being brave and doing one thing with your work that scares you-i.e enter a competition or an exhibition. Its what i did with my art work- and i've been blown away with the consequences that have evolved from that one small step.You won't know unless you give it a go.
