Not letting that inner critic squish you is tough business. :) I try to get through it by reminding myself that I have a specific voice to describe my own specific experiences, and that is a good enough reason on it's own to make art. :)Her Speakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01833340240923695080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1224871085252881908.post-30158917723083469882011-07-31T14:52:14.797-07:002011-07-31T14:52:14.797-07:00I love her to and I can see what you mean about cr...I love her to and I can see what you mean about creating or rather not.

I think I remember her from last year......I just had a look at your other recent sketch of the girl with the hearts I can't wait to see how this one turns out!!! I know how you feel about trying for perfection in art. I feel like that at times but I know that when I'm painting things that I love to do like my ladies I feel so much more inspired so i just try to do what feels right now. Sometimes things turn out better than others but I'm trying to accept that as part of the process. I think your art and style is beautiful and I've seen it grow so much in the last year!!! :0)Nicolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02077749964397488191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1224871085252881908.post-39351160171468518982011-07-30T19:38:08.720-07:002011-07-30T19:38:08.720-07:00I love her and I LOVE the hearts...I like her eyes...I love her and I LOVE the hearts...I like her eyes filled with wonder and vulnerability as love falls around her .... perfectionism...I'm a recovering perfectionist and what I am learning is that it doesn't have to be ANYTHING other than you ...remember not to compare yourself ever just listen to your heart as you did here and you will find freedom in your art!Natashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14700445200303617499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1224871085252881908.post-38662024545023173642011-07-30T11:57:39.504-07:002011-07-30T11:57:39.504-07:00I never liked perfection.

It is the one I had fun with that people connect to and like best.

There is something in the imperfection that makes it interesting! My parents were artists and they were really into realism. I really don't like it so much. I always say that I respect it but it dosen't interest me. If I want a picture of something I will take a photo. I think your girl is lovely!!! Paint what make you feel good. I am with you! My girls make me happy!! Just like yours.Heather Fousthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01137718419513676603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1224871085252881908.post-18422932850295572472011-07-29T19:49:09.428-07:002011-07-29T19:49:09.428-07:00I found you.. well, from finding me!

I have put limits on myself - such as how long I have to make a decision, limit what materials I can use, etc. so I don't get trapped in decisions ever searching for perfect.Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13710564167090028339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1224871085252881908.post-79453119944201082672011-07-29T17:07:52.302-07:002011-07-29T17:07:52.302-07:00beautiful,, so very sweet and lovely,beautiful,, so very sweet and lovely,Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1224871085252881908.post-79302178607244689672011-07-29T16:22:20.415-07:002011-07-29T16:22:20.415-07:00Such a truly sweet painting.

Art, like everythin...perfection. what an evil word! Art, like everything else in life, can not be done perfectly. And you are right - it ends up being a hindrance. <br />Maybe in addition to the class you can just tell yourself to make messy art. or do things like making random squiggles and finding images in them, or doing art activities that you did when you were a kid - dying paper towels, string art, sloppily painting one side and then mushing the paper down to get a mirror image on the other. While they sound silly, they will get the pressure off and your creative juices will really get stirred.A'n'G Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06319586269602054299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1224871085252881908.post-17189550523483684932011-07-29T05:57:31.434-07:002011-07-29T05:57:31.434-07:00I really like her!
