Your description of taking rejection and success in the same light, with the thought that it’s proof you’re moving forward, that you’re still in process, it’s brilliant! And thank you so much for posting on it. It’s not really an easy subject.

I hope your time in NY was loverly! Talk to you soon!

XOXO

It feels so calm and moody and perfect. And I am going to read Elena's post right now-- I'm always curious to see how other people doing something creative for a living are managing to balance it all.</p> oh, it’s LOVELY, Leah!

Sometimes this illness is like a gremlin that steals my energy and disappears in the afternoon. So, after the kids, no resources left. Found myself in dire need of release and wrote 3 haiku poems in less than 5 minutes, then today went for a walk in the neighborhood and took photos to go with them. Just posted. Hurray for Creative Every Day.<br /> hugs,<br /> patti</p> Love your work, and the story about Penelope is priceless – what a great parable.

There could be a whole string of adjectives added to that statement (all positive of course) but seriously, can't think of a word good enough. You've done the imposssible-made me speechless!<br /> Great advice on creating for yourself & from the heart. Whenever I've tried to push/force the art, it shows. Might be that I don't have the talent to pull it off, but all I know is that it doesn't work for me at all. </p> First, I absolutely love, love, love Penelope’s Web!

The colors are great and her face, like a damaged photo...perhaps carried by a lover or soldier for years of the only true love of his life.</p> <p>I think we have to do some type of "requested multiple art" or what sells. It really is a lure to you. There are people in sales ,they go to trade shows, see what is out there and if they say to you "will you?, can you?, I would like this" They probably know it will sell, then there are that many more eyes on your free soul created art. Sometimes we just have to do it and trust it is all part of a greater success. The sooner it gets done, the sooner the cricket is out of the cage, free to "leap" and play! hee hee</p> Penelope is breathtaking!

What you have written about attitude shift changes is so on the nose - if we look at a negative experience as a teaching experience, it never really becomes a dark cloud that bears over us. Instead, we can move forward in our endevours with more power and more knowledge.<br /> I'm so glad that you are continously going out there and showing your art to the world, and dealing with the yes and nos, and writing about it. It makes for very inspirational and motivational pieces. Keep on!<br /> Oh - and the subway pieces is how I found you, so I'm glad that they are doing well for you still.</p> <p>pia</p> Thank you for inspiring me this morning.

The background of blocks and patterns offsets the lyrical shape of Penelope and her graceful long neck, and the colors make me think of the sea in two ways - the blue of the water and Homer's description of the "wine-dark sea." It's so beautiful! I applaud your awareness of your attitude shift around creating and selling, especially as it applies to how you continue to grow as an artist. It's all good!</p> This is a really really strong piece!
