CMSA; notes to a good painter on a bad day;
I often feel like an "outsider" too... like there's a great party going on i didn't get an invitation to! ...i've felt that way often over the years...it sucks, maybe it's part of what makes me internalize the worst criticisms i've heard and accept them as the ugly truth, and made me NOT hear all the lovely things people do say...maybe it does that to you too? Ultimately we're painters first, no matter what...to paint is to have a world in our own control while we live in a world in which we can often feel powerless....so let's get painting!
