Paul Pena thanks sonia for the feedback. honestly, sometime i do not know what the fuck i am doing and should just my art supplies on craig's list...- SOnia Semone Yes-- being an artist is very frustrating. If you enjoy it then you should do it-- if you don't-- then you should not. When I start a new body of work-- or get new ideas I get pretty excited. I can work for days and months like a maniac.

James M. Rizzi i turn into a terrible person if i'm not creating something in some form. just real miserable and no good to anyone. but when I am, everything feels right. its an addiction, clearly. perhaps an obsessive compulsion.

James M. Rizzi but if you do have that itch, make great mistakes with your art and your life. they are one and the same.

Jacque Allen Forsher (1) Battle on, take no prisoners. (2) Any type of talent can be improved upon. This is why practice makes perfect. Keep in mind, there is no such thing as perfect. (3) Being successful does not always result in monetary gain (aka art sales). What do you personally expect from success? Money? Happiness? Fame? All of the above? Set a goal towards whatever your vision of success is and realize it may take a lifetime to reach it. It doesn't hurt to buy a lottery ticket every now and then. A winning lotto # would speed the process up. (4) While artists benefit from having both, desire and skill should not be confused. Desire requires a little angst and a big dream. Skill takes desire, patience and mucho grande effort. (5) If creating art makes YOU happy, then why would you want to walk away from that?
SOnia Semone Hey--this whole blog and group came from me being totally and utterly at my whits end frustrated because I live in a town where it is hard to be an artist. Now can chat with all of you great peoples any time of the day!

Daniel Birdsong Every artist hits a low or has insecurities about what they are doing. Self doubt can be advantageous in being self critical, or honest about your work. You can let it be your drive. Don't take a break... but make. It requires self discipline to go into the studio. The ideas are generated by what you experience, but understood and expounded upon through what takes place in the studio. The work makes you better. It is what teaches you. If you sit around just wondering...... you tend to produce doubt.
Jacque Allen Forsher Could I please have it if you do? I might use it in a mixed media piece.
