FRUSTRATED ARTIST

4/2/2016

"SH&T always rises to the top." This is the second year my art has been rejected at a local, juried art show. My initial reaction was one of disappointment. You'd think they would make an effort to support local artists? I know they try; my work just has a lot more growing up to do.

An experience like that does make you deeply empathize with Vincent van Gogh. I can't imagine how this man dedicated his entire life to art, without ever selling a single painting (except for one). To constantly put yourself out there, only to have your ego crushed over and over again.

My family told me not to cut off my ear. It would do me no good. They also kindly reminded me that "CREAM always rises to the top."

I love that zebra! Is that a 3-dimensional mouth and teeth?! (Really, love those teeth!)
