It was a lovely surprise to come back after a hectic weekend to find my work had been featured in DeeZ 5Cs Awards Showcase Member Exhibit.
The DeeZ 5C Awards are given to members who’s work meets the 5C’s Composition,Creativity,Clarity,Contrast/Colour and Commercial Appeal/Applicability…so I’m flattered and humbled considering the standard of art in the group.
It’s especially wonderful because lately I’ve had so many ideas but can’t seem to finish anything. Either I’ve lost the feel or just don’t think it’s good enough.
I know it’s just a stage, I’ve been through it before and no doubt it will haunt me again…that little self-doubt gremlin that sits on your shoulder and says “blah” to everything you do!
So many works have seen the dustbin, they were probably acceptable but I didn’t get that special feel after finishing…that magic time when you sit back and look at it and say..Wow! I did that…I really miss that feeling and hope it returns soon.
So I’m really chuffed at receiving this Award, it’s encouraging and a spur to keep going..so a big thank you to the DeeZ 5Cs Group:)

Cate Townsend
Big congratulations Shanina!
I can really relate to what you are going through atm. I will work and work on a project and then finally it’s like the magic happens and it all comes together and I sit back and think wow did I do that. Then you go through stages with the self doubt and nothing seems right. I like to use this stage to soak in the wonderment of inspiration. It’s really frustrating because I feel like I want to work…should be working…..but at the same time I know it’s a time for nourishment and refreshing. Love what you do xxx
Shanina Conway:
Awww …thanks Cate, I love what you do too:)
and that’s it exactly….right now I have that overwhelming feeling that I want to work, itching so bad to do something but I know I’ll start something new and waft off onto something else…maybe it’s the rain…got to blame something lol!
Those “wow I did that” feelings are priceless and so personal, it doesn’t matter what anyone thinks, just that fantastic feeling of making an idea, a feeling tangible…that is our nourishment…and right now I’m starving;)
Cate Townsend
Well your not alone….gives a whole new conentation to “the starving artist”!
