Title: Do you really want to "make it"?
Category: other
Blog Entry: I have been filled with contemplation recently about the strivings of my heart. I think it's the human nature for us to push forward and for us in turn to want what we don't have, only to find that most of the time that we can have it... that we don't want it. In the past I've been guilty of this. My battle is to whether or not I really REALLY want to be a commercial painter. By this I don't mean to sell out or to paint just what others want, but I mean although I've been trying hard to 'make it', now that it seems that it could happen, and I have a large body of work... do I really want it? I paint because I have something caught in me. For the most part I have no idea what it is, but I feel stuffed and cramped unless I get it out. This is why I have so much art, but what if I have a gallerist wanting me to produce another 30 works, in effect sucking the poop out of me rather than me poopin' cos I gotta go! As so many of you out there are striving to 'reach the top', I just want to ask you if you've thought about the same things or am I alone in this?
