What the Bleepetty-Bleep?

Thorny Flowers in process....

I am in a seriously sad kind of place with my art.  Nothing is working. Everything sucks.   And it really pisses me off.

I think the main problem is that I've decided to try to create "real" art.  Not the crappy crafty art that any random Greta or Betty could produce; no, I want to make gallery worthy art. 

That decision seems to have sucked the marrow out of my creative life.  I'm not a gallery worthy artist.  At least, not yet.  Maybe one day.  Right now, I think I just need to play and explore.  Leave all the pressure behind and allow myself to simply enjoy the creative process.

If I can let go of the negative self-judgement long enough to splatter paint with wild abandon, who knows?  I might just enjoy myself again.  Better yet, I might create something that contents me.

Yeah, that sounds good.  Really good.

Stay tuned!  Surely something wonderful is about to happen next!
