Don't Worry All of You Sellouts!
If you are worrying about selling your art work stop now. Nothing positive has ever come out of worrying. Try to worry over everything important in your life for a week and see if anything good, great or miraculous happens. Anxiety and fear usually accompany weary thoughts which dampen your mood and prevent progress. The last thing you want to do as an artist is paint with nervous energy. Confidence should show in your work from the beginning to the end, if not then you start over or try something new the next time around. There will be many mistakes along the way as an artist from your bio to the next potential masterpiece, but you have to remember there is nothing to worry about when you have prayed for everything that matters. Every time anxiety creeps in my mind and stress begins to tighten muscles I think back to an old buddhist proverb I learned years ago. "If you can fix the problem what is the need of worrying, if you can not fix the problem what is the use of worrying". Art is the problem solver. Creativity is the equation. The solution is believe in yourself! SOLD
