And there's this thing about me... when I get rejected I get crazy.. for a day or so, THEN I look really hard at my work, and I question if it's really going where I want it to go. And THEN I get moving and try to do ten times better..... (so it's all good!) ;)Kelley Carey MacDonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14667693715096070393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8974134457433464045.post-24606733542247924952008-06-13T11:09:00.000-07:002008-06-13T11:09:00.000-07:00Rejected Artist really strikes a cord.

Don't let it get you down. I'll hope you have a sale or a prize soon!

But remember, rejection is how we learn, and how we grow. If it were easy we would all be painters, and we would all get into every show. But rejection is what makes acceptance sweeter, it makes it worth striving for, and worth the rejection because that carrot is so much sweeter than the stick.<BR/><BR/>Stay strong.Ninihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12796028128483036984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8974134457433464045.post-54174389557559816992008-06-10T07:06:00.000-07:002008-06-10T07:06:00.000-07:00Thanks.

It had the effect on me that art maybe should have as a most important form of communication and it disturbed me only because this one is close to home. Paint your way through this…we’ve all been there at some time, will be again more than once, and if we’re sensitive enough to capture our experience on canvas as part of the process, we will all be better for it. Keep those heart shaped clouds close by.Paula Villanovahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06591055157296767053noreply@blogger.com
