It's been a rough couple of days work-wise. I feel like I'm fighting with myself all the time. I need to try to be easier on myself and not think about things too hard, just keep trying to do what I want and not worry too much about what I think other people expect.
I just had to comment because my husband and I were talking about this very thing last night! It's exhausting, this internal struggle. You must create what makes you happy, what comes naturally, regardless of what others like, expect, etc. You're so talented, whatever you do will be wonderful. Of course, my personal opinion doesn't really matter (per what I just said!) but there's my 2 cents anyway. ;)
ReplyDeleteI always think what you create are just wonderful and so unique. We all have days where it doesn't matter what you do it ain't gonna come out the way you want it to....so the best thing is to have a break. I have had a few days off from my drawing (went to Holy Island in the Northumberland, which was was lovely) and it has done me some good and I feel inspired and now willing to plough now.

ReplyDeleteToo much thinking about what other people might want from you is no good (which is not to say that I am immune to doing that same thing).
ReplyDeleteBut even if you do want to worry about making other people happy... well, I'm sure no one would want you to compromise or be to tough on yourself anyway!
I love popping in to look at your blog and each time is always a lovely surprise.
I don't remember how I found your blog, but I, too, "pop in" from time to time and am soothed by your artwork. Thank you!
