8/21 Strength - What struggles did you encounter while making the deck? How did you endure them?Making this deck didn’t come without its troubles. There were times when I lacked confidence in my work, when I was frustrated with the results of my work, and when I failed and had to start over on a painting. I got through most of this by convincing myself to just do the work regardless of whether or not I might fail. I knew that if I didn’t take the time to struggle through my frustrations, there was no opportunity to succeed or fail, to learn or grow, and I would regret not doing it.At a midpoint in my work on the deck I went to a convention and had a valuable review with an art director. After some discussion we came to the conclusion that my more interesting and successful paintings were pieces that I had struggled most with during the process of making them. This discovery helped me accept struggles and frustrations as a welcome part of my process instead of making myself more frustrated.Question for you: What is your relationship with failure? Do you allow your frustrations to hold you back or have you found a way to work with them? -- source link
