yucky

Feelin' kinda yucky right now. I guess I am spoiled bc I thought that I was doing really well at my painting, but this other person won for best painter and first place at the show. They just do nude figures and that's all....no imagination...just techique. I guess that's what people like around here.
I guess when you go a while without being appreciated by your peers for your art it gets to you. I guess its only natural to be envious of others that have things come to them so easily. I'll get over it, but for now I'm wallowing in self pity lol

hmmmm...

People don't seem to really like my paintings this year, which makes me doubt myself. I know that you shouldn't let that bother you, but unfortunately, it does.
It is a bit of a blow to my belief that good art includes some imagination.
There's a show here at TU that sort of validate your time here, if you get in, and two of my pieces that are small and I do not care about got in, but everything else was rejected.
I have to get used to rejection, but when I see what else was rejected and what got in, it really makes me question what I am doing with my art.
Its so hard to vent without sounding like a brat or stuck up!!!
I guess that is the way of the world. There's always someone better than you.
OK, thanks for letting me vent!
