COMING: March, 2015
Today, I am discouraged.
My trusty friend, ART AND FEAR, says this:
“. . .artmaking can be a rather lonely, thankless affair. Virtually all artists spend some of their time (and some artists spend virtually all of their time) producing work that no one else much cares about. . . The sobering truth is that the disinterest of others hardly ever reflects a gulf in vision. In fact there’s generally no good reason why others should care about most of any one artist’s work.”
Yes. that’s how I feel today, that no one is much interested in any of my work.
Ho, hum.
So, what?
Fortunately, ART AND FEAR goes on:
“The function of the overwhelming majority of your artwork is simply to teach you how to make the small fraction of your artwork that soars.”
On those discouraging days, these are words to cling to!
