A post from My Facebook Page

I was talking with a friend today on FB, and she asked me if people criticized my paintings when I first started painting. She said she was not quite brave enough to publically post her work yet. This got me thinking..... and I wanted to share what I told her in hopes it may encourage others.

No matter what you create, what craft or gift you have, if you enjoy it.... Share it!!!


I think 99% of people in the world today love to see other's gifts and talents and feel uplifted by them.

I am fortunate to have people around me who are very encouraging and like I told my friend, if they don't like a painting I do, they mostly just keep it to themselves. I have learned over the last few years that it is important for me to share my art because I enjoy making it so much. Now that doesn't mean I don't get the artist rejection, because I get my fair share! I have had paintings not accepted in shows and competitions, which was hard to take at first. I also have people who will tell me if the don't like something I painted. With all of this, I have learned; 1. you can't please everyone, no matter what, everyone has different opinions or preferences and 2. you take that "advise" and if it is a valid point- use it, if it is an irrational point- let it go! For example, I got the honor last year to volunteer at a show I had a couple paintings in and actually got to listen to people walk by and talk about the paintings, including mine. This was the first time that this was fun for me. I got to listen to the "silly comments and critiques" and some more serious critiques that were repeated by a few people, those I took to heart, learning from and hopefully am fixing in my paintings.

Just remember- If you love what you do- don't be afraid to share it with the world!

Too much talent is wasted away shoved in drawers, singing in showers or stuck in the mind afraid to be written down! Go for it! We want to see your gifts!

"Gods gift to us is the ability to create! What we create is our gift to God!"
