Whew! where is the year going?
It seems like yesterday that I tentatively put my toe in the ‘red bubble’ puddle.
I remember being scared, curious and overawed by the whole process.
I am so glad that I took the risk, I have met so many kind and generous artists of all experience levels and genres. The common thread has been the amazing willingness to share and foster confidence in each other. I remember opening each comment with dread waiting for some experienced artist to put this self taught pretender in her place.
Hasn’t happened, I have found nothing but generosity of spirit, encouragement and technical assistance. For that I say a heartfelt THANK YOU
Self doubt is still my over coat but I have come a long way and look to the future with some excitement.
In closing I want to share a quote with you which was sent to me just a few days ago. I was feeling rather insecure about my art, wondering if I was wasting my time and everybody elses. I sent off an email to an artist whom I admire greatly asking her to check my work and tell me if it was time to lay down the paint brushes. This was her reply, I found it so inspirational that I wanted to share it with you all.
“The new work of art does not consist of making a living or producing an objet d’art, or in self-therapy, but in finding a new soul. The new era is the era of spiritual creativity….and soul-making.” Henry Miller, Wisdom of the Heart
So, thank you all for sharing the journey as I create and make my soul.
Love, light and laughter to you
Your support has been truly inspirational
