When I was in high school, and put my art in for a juried show, I was annoyed, because I was grrreeaaat! That's right. I beemed like the sun with confidence. And if there is anything school taught me is that I can always to better, and of course, someone else already is.
Now I have no confidence in my work, and I long for a juried show to give me that little pat on the back that says, someone thought you were as good as these guys, so don't worry about looking like a fool in comparison.
Unfortunately, my 'masterpiece,' aka the Neverending Still-life, is going to be in a non-juried show. Suddenly I have no confidence in the painting I loved only a few months ago. Quuestions fill my head, such as: Will people like it? Will they understand the broken glasses? Will they call me academic as an insult? Will they think the glasses hold an inner meaning? Will they think I'm trying to make it seem like there is an inner meaning to the glasses? Will they laugh at me?
Will I price it too high?
Will I sell it too low?
Too many questions. I miss the good old days.
