Artist on hands and blood...

August 31, 2008 2:45am CST
We are all entitled and grant a talent by our creator... some of us developed it, some used it to make money and other shared it to the public...some of us can sing, dance and some are lucky to have a talent in painting and I am lucky enough to have that....but I'm still nurturing it so that i shared it to other and for myself that I have to developed it...Many people says that I have to compete but still have low esteem to do that and I am afraid to be criticize...I paint and all my paintings are hanged at the house and some are just there in the corner...I paint in order for me to be relax and to be at ease...to forget my heartaches and problems...my paintings are my masterpiece, my soul, and a piece of my life...But how will I overcome my shyness?How will I developed my self esteem to compete and show to the world that I am into this talent???How will I say to myself that I am an ARTIST in hands and in blood???The questions are HOW???

Well first post your work on line for starters, away from those who know your work and receive feed-back.. Then to break the ice find a local store front gallery show it to the director and see what your possibilities are, they'll tell you very clearly... Option two enroll in a local university take courses and receive feed-back that way.. Don't be shy just go out and do it..like going out on a first date with a person you might love, all a risk..

I agree. I have drawn since I was very young. I have only just this year started letting people see my work. I didn't think it was anything but doodles. I liked it and that is all that mattered to me. However when I started posting some of my work on line, I got all kinds of people looking at it and commenting on it, encouraging me to pursue my talent. You just never know who is going to come across your work and want to hire you for something. Just put yourself out there. A little criticism is not going to hurt. That is how we grow in our talents*S*
