A Balanced View


Lately I have such a difficult time with self-criticism. Willing to make imperfect art and accepting it as a necessary part of growth is difficult for me. It is so easy to get into a rut and keep on putting out the same kind of work. It is accepted , therefore it must be okay. When do we get to the point where we are willing to take risks and try something new? I wish that it were possible to get others viewpoints. I know that other people experience the rut thing, but what do they do to get out of it? My partner is patient and supportive, and I get good advice, but I still do not feel good enough to try to step out into new art experiments. When much younger I only copied other artists work. It wasn't until I got to art school that I began doing my own work. School is a great place to try out new ideas, that is what it is there for. But what do you do to make new art just for the sake of stepping out into the unknown?
