Even though I have spent a significant amount of time working on this website and creating my first mural, I have not yet promoted my works or services. I am now prepared to embrace the challenge of beginning my artistic journey. This decision feels more daunting and exposed than any other occupation I have pursued, likely because it holds deep personal significance for me, dating back to my childhood. Like many individuals, I feel apprehensive about sharing my work with the public and opening myself up to criticism. However, I understand that not everyone will appreciate my art, but there are numerous like-minded individuals who share my artistic preferences. The notion that one must cater to everyone's tastes often inhibits artists from producing work they are truly passionate about. Comparing oneself to others stifles creativity. Overcoming the fear of failure and even the fear of success are crucial steps to take. Take a deep breath, close your eyes... and take the leap! Push your boundaries and embrace the fear!
Ready, Set, Paint! Beginning my artistic journey.
