As I prepare to embark on this 365 days of art journey I must confess...I am...uh......freaking out. I'm excited, yes...but I'm also freaking out, because 365 days are, well, lots of days. I know me and how I operate and I already feel like I might fail, which is silly because I'm not being GRADED. I might be judged, probably harshly, by myself, but it's a CHALLENGE and challenges by their very nature ARE challenging. I may not be able to make a piece of art every single day, but the important part of this is that I TRY...and that I don't let myself get derailed by my own sense of failure when there are days I cannot meet the challenge.
I suppose it will also be an exercise in being gentle with myself on the days I may not produce an artwork and moving forward even when I don't feel like it. It's really more about the process than the finished product anyway, and I need to keep that in perspective.
