At work today, i bumped into a few artist that i went to school with. The last time i spoke with her, she was preparing to get ready for graduate program in fine arts. The same professors that allowed her to graduate with honors also told her she didn't have what it takes to be an artist. In not so many words they gave her the verbal conversation of having more qualified candidates than her. As she said it i felt the sting of truth that we all feel. It's hurts to hear you don't have what it takes. That would be a large part of the reason why i didn't enter shows/exhibitions or take my work gallery to gallery. It's painful to hear the words "no" over and over again and have the impression that you're going to try once again. So even on a Valentines Day Saturday night weekend and others are out having dinner with friends or loved ones, i'm be sketching, drawing, and painting to make myself better.
