Day 61

I am thankful that I tried. Today I found out that a neck piece I had made was not selected to be in a gallery show I submitted it for. Yeah Im a little bitter that I was not selected, that the woman who was the juror of the show was to lazy and ignorant to put effort into selecting meaningful pieces. That she has little understanding or consideration for the potential of art in the 21st century. But really who's to judge. I am pretty proud that I tried. Back in September I had a hard time convincing myself that I was even an artist. So to be inspired by an idea, a single word really, and go to the effort and have the guts to follow through with that idea and submit to a gallery was a pretty big deal for me. Have you felt that rush and really challenged your self recently? Feels pretty good, you should try it. I really think in the end it is worth it to take that leap. Even if you fail, you probably won't be any worse off than before you tried! Just try. Im thankful I did.
