I don’t talk about rejection much, because I don’t like advertising my failures. Although, in turn, I don’t really advertise my successes that much either. I don’t know if there’s any way rejection isn’t hard? I’ve been pushing myself really hard the last year, applying to 5+ opportunities a month, continuing to create art, attending lectures and workshops to be more affective in the business aspects of being an artist. But still, I often feel like I’m throwing $30 at my car window on the highway asking anyone to find relevance in my art. I try to keep positive, and add affirmations to art. But, I still need time to heal from disappointment. Success is abstract, I need to remind myself to be grateful for where I am. I will never not make art. .. .. .. .. .. #iamenough #success #stencilart #nakedcarlyart #affordableart #texture #abstraction #originalart #canvaspainting #acrylicpainting #art #abstractart #painting #smallart #artist #intuitiveart #intuitiveartist #intuitivepainting #supportlivingartists #femaleartist #paisley #abstractpainting #paint #blue #rejection #affirmations #workingartist #artistproblems
