It is especially valuable to apply your ideas to the running commentary in my head....recognize the positive and determine to learn more about the negative!jeanette, mistress of longearshttp://www.flickr.com/photos/longears/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6433515488823955689.post-81966495533005153852012-07-20T08:49:42.098-07:002012-07-20T08:49:42.098-07:00Very good point!

It's much easier to get a good result with clear vision than it is by paving the way with excuses and apologies.<br /><br />I hope I'm not next to "Anonomyous" in my next workshop.<br /><br />LucyJaneOzMohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03290010999263489131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6433515488823955689.post-75282123499704134682012-06-30T12:47:13.081-07:002012-06-30T12:47:13.081-07:00It's always so much easier for one to be hard ...It's always so much easier for one to be hard on themselves, than to step back and say, "wow this is an amazing piece." It's great that your friend was able to give a lesson to not only you but all of us with that. <br /><br />I think it comes from people trying to be more modest than 'overly-confident' I suppose. I will admit, that I'm someone who will say, "oh, this is just okay" even if I'm thinking in my head - this is one of the best pieces I've done - because I want to know what others think, if they think it is just as amazing, before I go out and say outloud, 'this is amazing'. <br /><br />Thanks for a great article! I know I have told friends who have dabbled in artwork too: if you have the right attitude to go along with your work, then others will love it - they won't know that it's "wrong" if you portray it as how you wanted it to be. <br /><br />:)Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06117751476700248967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6433515488823955689.post-88312379557872595832012-06-29T19:23:27.873-07:002012-06-29T19:23:27.873-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6433515488823955689.post-8047026021511817682012-06-26T15:27:43.694-07:002012-06-26T15:27:43.694-07:00I so needed to read this post today, really.

I have shared this article on my Facebook page for my artist friends to read. Very well said!
