The show finished on August 18 and was well received. Sometimes we worry for no good reason.

If you answer Yes, and No! then you'll get through this phase quickly enough, notwithstanding unrelated stuff that might contribute to your anxiety. <br />Here's a fun project: a visual dictionary of your favorite images and symbols. What do they mean, how have they changed, how frequently do you use them? Just doodle them in a notebook, enjoy them for their own sake, ponder them. YOU are the subject of your work, ultimately. Study and appreciate the beauty of YOU for a while. :) JSJennifer S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12161607683065375287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1489391563999320464.post-64597418908233047732012-07-02T11:46:14.904-05:002012-07-02T11:46:14.904-05:00When is your opening?

I think whenever we expose parts of ourselves by putting our work out there, it is normal to have some fear. The more positive feedback we get, the less our fears. Also, when I see all the new techniques to learn and try to incorporate, I try to remind myself that I don't have to do it all. Sometimes it helps to go back to basics. I just looked at your tutorial and I love that piece!! Don't give up. You are an artist.Juanitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01103720777736955232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1489391563999320464.post-14708378556524867722012-06-26T10:35:45.564-05:002012-06-26T10:35:45.564-05:00Hi Stephanie!

He's a creativity coach, and addresses such creative tensions in his writings (book, blog, website, podcasts). I've done a couple of courses with him and while I haven't banished my doubts, I certainly manage them a little better. If you'd like to chat more feel free to contact me thru email off my site. Best of luck!
