Artist's Doubt

Mixed Media Mondays with Tracy Weinzapfel Studios is a group of pure fun I recently joined.  Tracy has a live U-Stream class every Monday night for free which I stumbled across and enjoy so much.  She has encouraged members to create a bucket list of small to large Life Achievements each member would like to do or become or see in this year.

As you may remember, I haven't any real desires to do or see or become much of anything except to capture memories of my life and put them down in my art journals.  Egotistically, I rather hope the future generations might want to get to know their Mimi.  I hope my oil paintings will be passed down through the family members and someone, someday might say "Who was that painter in our family?" and someone will have my journals in safekeeping just for that moment in time.  :-D

Artist's Doubt

And as you also may know, I love my oils and paint from study ... but am completely kerpfuddled with this mixed media and design on the fly!  Luckily, much of my life has been a kerpfuddle and I just muddle thru the puddle and make a mess and track it everywhere and go on about life anyway often to the consternation of those about me, for which I will say once more -- "truly sorry!" (((hugs))).  :-)  

Ok, so anyway, I did a February Challenge for Tracy's group -- and this is it.  I see so many newcomers to this media who doubt what they are doing.  I do as well.  It doesn't stop me, of course, but it sure can be disconcerting when one questions the validity of what they are doing with their art.   I hope they doubt and just keep doing ... it so matters!  Every time you doubt and push forward gets you *that* much closer to where you want to be eventually.  So I say ...

PUSH ON and PLAY and enjoy the adventure!!!
