I think as artists we can forget how brave we are!
More quotes from Matisse can be found here.
So I encourage you to recognize how brave you are today! Take stock and make a list of your brave actions:
I am a brave artist when I:
- suspend self judgement
- put my work out there
- ask for a sale
- am willing to make ugly prints
- set it aside and come back with fresh eyes
- tear it up and repurpose a piece
- take a class in a new media
- combine techniques in my own way
Come on make your list!
