I recently had three paintings rejected from a
prestigious local Juried show.
After going through all the predictable reactions;
shock, anger, self doubt….
I was reminded of the Buddhist saying
”you never know when something bad could be good”
(and vice versa)
“Beach Road” 12 x 7 oil
Yesterday the Solace gallery owner in
New jersey called to tell me a client wants
to purchase the painting above
and is interested in me doing a large commission for her!
So, I guess a positive attitude and faith in yourself
goes a long way.
Not to mention,
juried shows do not mean a thing
about your talent or personal journey!
(PS. This is a repeat of a post I did last May,
but I think the lesson here is very valuable.)
