Thank you so much for compiling this awe inspiring video Damon. It, and others in this series, remind me to keep writing, as my goal is to continuously try to improve myself. Take care.
@@joewillis8257 I'm very pleased if it helps you in any, Joe. And much obliged for your generous comment. Wishing you and yours a very happy holiday season and a prosperous, fulfilling New Year.
Johannes, thank you so much. Your gift is greatly appreciated, as is your comment. Im very pleased you found the video useful. Wishing you all the best in your creative endeavors.
This is great. I cannot count the number of times I've been so disappointed with my very first efforts that I just gave up. On the other side of the coin, so to speak, the danger comes from being too enamored of one's initial "success" (it might seem like something amazing to us) such that we're suddenly Experts! Have you ever had to try to find something nice to say to a painter who is just so proud of their own work? You know it's happened to you! I'll give a beginning painter credit for the effort, but from one painter to another, please, please, file those first ten or so paintings away in a closet because you'll get so much better after a year or two...
Very true, David. I like the degree of sensitivity you’re offering here. In this case, it’s one thing to privately think the painting isn’t as good as the painter feels it is-we should always know our own truth and uphold it. But there’s no reason to trash an artist’s work. Without compromising our own values, it’s usually possible to select something we admire about a piece. If you’ve been around long enough, and it sounds like you have, you know that a young artist’s work should mature-so long as they keep pursuing it. Therefore, if they ask, we can point them in a direction we feel might be of use to them, wish them well, and get back to our work-where there’s always something new to learn, yes? Very much enjoyed your comment (as usual). Wishing you and yours a very happy holiday season.
I just love you jack
