hi Avalyn,

What a great contemplation. When you say “I do believe that my perceptions of the outside world define my responses” I also see how we make those external critical responses internal.

I’m glad art got you. 🙂

We do need critical faculties, but especially in creative endeavours it’s not helpful at the beginning when it can kill creativity.

Wishing you many more marvellous opportunities!

love

Cynthia

My immediate response was a little disrespectful, to myself. One of those hmmm, whatever, inner comments. And that of itself, is something to look at.
When I was younger , every time I looked in the mirror I was hardly satisfied with my appearance. Now, the blessings of ageing- I am very free in random expressions of my mood, on the day with my body.
However , I wonder if that ‘disappearing-into-the-whatever ‘ mist retracts my art-life.
I’ve had some marvellous opportunities to exhibit world-wide over the years. A wonderful NY company supported me(and others), with virtual exhibitions in Brooklyn, Times Square, and even in the entrance gallery in the Louvre, Paris.
All of that felt quite nebulous, though exciting for a moment, and no further connections were forthcoming.
I was told as a young teenager that I wouldn’t ever make money as an artist. So I became very intellectually focused instead. Art wanted to have me though.
Mostly, I feel very happy being creative and I receive wonderful feedback from clients.
However , I think I maybe still have an inner critic momentum. I do believe that my perceptions of the outside world define my responses.
Hmmm. . . Will talk with my inner guidance.
Thank you Cynthia
