I am so thankful for the wonders of the past 3 months. There have been 3 major art shows, commissions and sales and I have seen 15 paintings off to their new homes! Yes, it is humbling and very rewarding to be at this place in my art journey! I am not an ambitious person, except for the desire to make the best effort to excel in what I care about. I'm not sure how to define success as an artist aside from creating the most authentic art I can from what's inside me. Being invited to art shows, receiving recognition in awards, having art patrons buying my work...all these are so encouraging and validating and also very challenging: to keep at it, keep learning, keep growing. And I am especially thankful to all you readers and friends, who support me, encourage me, and help me feel connected with you through art. Yay!! You are all awesome!! Thank you!!
