It's why I've stayed away from commission work and what feels to me like production work.<br /><br />Sometimes having people NOT comment about your art is a blessing. Recently an enthusiastic friend who does not make art herself but fancies herself well educated on it blatantly told me what she would change about several of my pieces. Her comments made it very clear she did not understand the work. Thank goodness I've developed enough confidence in what I'm working on these days not to be thrown by such remarks and think she may be right. I really care about those pieces, how they came about and how they TURNED out and I couldn't care less that she thinks they could be improved. As I tell her, well, when you make YOUR piece, you can make it any way you want.The Idaho Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09979439849662755082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3025367697738845929.post-8518520280560582882009-09-03T14:37:14.878-04:002009-09-03T14:37:14.878-04:00Ah, Art and Fear.

I took both of them to my studio, separately. They asked questions about the heat, the worktable, my supplies. They barely glanced at the art that was spread all over the large central table. They obviously had nothing to say. I know they did not care. They did not want me to explain my work to them.<br /><br />I don't even want to tell you what my own family thinks.<br /><br />Sigh.<br /><br />Great post!!Kim Hambrichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08784106179953299055noreply@blogger.com
