I wonder, if it's just the artists temperment, that causes him to doubt his works, to think all he does is never good enough, that it's all just so much pigment on canvases... or if it's just me.
Monet used to burn the canvases he wasn't satisfied with, I'm too cheap for that, lol...
Sometimes I get caught up in looking at what I do, and get frustrated that I am not where I want to be with my art yet. I know that the trick is to keep painting, because I learn wih each one, but still... I guess I should be happy that I haven't peaked yet.
I get alot of positive comments on my work, everyone tells me I'm good...
So how come I'm not selling anything? My art show turned out to be one of the most disappointing events in my life. Not the show itself, I was very proud of that, and was grateful that you got to see it in real life, but I sold one piece, only one, and that let me down. Maybe my expectations were too high, or maybe my ego got ahead of my capabilities...
At any rate, I'm considering abandoning the gallery idea, it's not been working out for me so well. I'm spending 90 dollars a month for gallery space, and not selling, hell I can let it sit here at home and not sell it for free, lol...
I don't know... maybe I'm just in a down cycle in my biorythym ....
Guess I'll paint...
