Got to work harder

I was asked if I could paint some kind of series featuring different feelings. It wasn't paid project and I had to refuse - if I had more free time I would take it because the subject was interesting and the girl who asked had very defined design for the series but... I need to eat - which got me into some thoughts. Many people think art is like being totally free, feckless, having not to do except for slopping some colours on canvas. You know the stuff. That girl was extremely rude when I refused. Of course I didn't reply to her second e-mail where she said many things she might have regretted if we ever met in real life but the point was "you lazy ass, gotta share your talent for free because you got it for free". Well... right. You know what I think? My talent is nothing. It's like 10%, the rest is really hard work. Only my husband can say how much frustration it costs to finish specific paintings, paintings featuring things I hate to paint, how much effort it costs to break my own rules that sometimes destroy my works. For one piece shared with the audience there are five failed. At least five. If I'm not in mood for painting I don't touch tablet for a week. Instead I do pencil drawings but they should be called doodles of five-year-old. Besides I have regular job. Great ambitions that probably are not based on solid facts. I'm average woman who happened to be familiar with Photoshop a bit more than most people. So what? She told me I should share my talent for free. Well, I do it, you don't have to pay for looking at my works. But having decided about my art path made me make some choices and now I don't feel like turning back. I need to work harder. I have some goals that I may never achieve but the path leading to them is worth the effort. If it's worth all frustration - I don't know.

Cheers.
