'Positive' has become one of my mind sets. You have to be. The worst thing you can do to your creative energies is throw in 'Negative'. Maybe it worked for Van Gogh but let's face it he only sold one painting in his lifetime. (Don't know if you could have called him dedicated or just plain nuts)!

I try to get in my studio at least once a day, even if it's just to straighten things out. If I go in the studio I eventually pick up that brush. With past injuries it's hard for me to handle a full-time job so painting is what is good for the healing all away around, whether I make it in the art world or not.

Hang in there. Haven't you noticed that the more art you do, the more energized you feel?

Take care.
