Oh my gosh, this is more than a bit scary and intimidating to me. I do have my own art blog at http://valsalteredheartjourney.blogspot.com/, and I get a fair amount of comments, but....all of them are kind and complimentary. (If you take a look, please scroll down to some previous posts, because my latest post isn't one of my best art works.)
I've never belonged to an art community like this one before, and looking at some of the art here makes me cringe in posting my own art. I'm doing this because I'm trying to expand my horizons in my own art, and to find out if what I create is even worthy to be considered art at all. If I sound insecure here, well yea, that would be correct. I wonder, aren't most or at least many artists insecure, at least to some degree? Perhaps not, I'm just throwing that question out there. I just want to know I'm not alone in feeling uncertain regarding my art, and how it might compare to the work of other artists, and how other artists and people might perceive it.
Well, I don't mean to go on and on here, I just feel quite intimidated posting on this site. Like I'm not quite sure I belong here, but as long as I'm allowed to be here, that works for me and I'm grateful.
So I'm going to dare to upload one of my works, and just see what kind of comments and reaction I get. If it's not too painful, I might move on to the next step. Thanks ( I think) for any comments or feedback or whatever.
