I've been in a little bit of an artistic rut lately.
I saved up money and applied to 3 different art shows,
All different parts of the U.S.,
Trying something new.
My goal was to get accepted into one.
And I did.
It was perfect.
It's been awhile since I've been in a group show.
But then,
The show got cancelled.
But not just cancelled,
the venue closed.
They were transitioning to online exhibits,
Which I fear may be the future of art shows.
The opening was supposed to be today.
Instead,
I'm sitting in my studio,
Trying to start fresh,
Prepping new boards,
For new works,
Hoping for the best,
And trying to simply enjoy this time on Earth.
Being an artist requires strength,
To build yourself back up from lose,
To keep pushing forward when all you experience are dead ends,
To stay positive,
And keep creating,
Even if it's just for you,
And only you.
