But yesterday, at The Boy's gentle urging, I forced myself to power through my mental block and start painting. I told myself that if I tried something and it didn't work, nobody would ever know but me...I could screw up a hundred times and just quietly throw those attempts in the trash and start again. The only work my potential customers will ever see is what I choose to put in my store - the good stuff - and even my failures will be learning experiences, so the rewards of starting a new painting would far outweigh the risks, so just go already.
And I did, and my ideas snowballed, and since yesterday I've made like a dozen adorable little 4"x6" paintings (mostly of cartoon food; I'm still on that food kick). I feel freaking awesome - today and yesterday are everything I ever hoped my jobless life would be. I feel productive and energized and fulfilled and amazing.
What's that you say? You want proof of my awesome prolificness? Well then:
I told you I'm a messy painter! |
At this point I'd say I'm nicely on track to having a truly righteous Artfire shop. Let's hope my productive streak continues 'cause I can hardly wait to show you my brand new digs!
Wow I found my alter ego.. I think you paint as I.
ReplyDeleteI love your Creativity. Best of luck to you..
I've found it's always best to paint naked. That way you don't ruing any clothes. Can't wait to see the new stuff!!
