I'm so happy right now I want to jump up & down! I finished up my first assignment, I'm off to a friends for pictures she has a much better camera. I'm glad a took that deep breath and figured out what was bugging me. I think it worked out perfect, its exactly what I was thinking. Got my fingers crossed....maybe some toes too. Here's a pic I took with my phone.
I swore that I wouldn't dilly dally and I'd get my entry done early. Well I got stuck on the theme changed my mind several times. I finally got rid of the blank page staring at me but I was having trouble with second guessing myself. I sketched and sketched and got that dialed in but now the background was bugging me. I figured out that it was because it wasn't me. Yes I need to create something that they like but I've also got to be true to who I am. I hope the artist I am and have the potential to be comes across in my work. That's all I can hope for. I believe that if this isn't meant to be then I'm going to be ok with not getting the second but I do hope I get the opportunity. I did a Google search to see what other artists were doing (probably not the brightest idea) I started to freak out because there was amazing Journal covers being created but then the thought came to me they have a lot different style yours is just as good. It is going to come down to what Lilla and her team wants....who knows maybe it will be me? I'll post pictures when I'm finished. This is going to be a long night and early morning...lol! I have learned that if I do go on I will listen to my heart and gut first thing.
I've entered myself in Global Talent search by Lilli Rogers Talent agency. I had to have a talk with myself because self doubt came knocking at my door. Why bother there's tons of great artists out there. Do you really have a chance? After taking a few deep breaths and talking to my hubby and best friend. I was able to answer that question. Renea' you do have something to offer the world and yes you do have the talent. I'm not trying to be cocky but I have to believe in myself. I love creating and I would love to be able to share my art with the world. What an opportunity I couldn't sit back and not try. If you don't risk you don't grow this is the chance I've been dreaming of.
Here's to taking chances!
I got my first assignment. I'll be creating a 5x7 art Journal cover with Old Fashioned Playground as the theme. My mind is racing with ideas now I just need to do some sketching and choose what I want to do. No pressure...lol!
