It is this little voice that keeps me from sending my art into the World.
But quite frankly, I am running out of space to put things and some of these works are clamoring to see the light of day.
I have been invited to submit works for an invitational show, and I haven't yet. The deadline is WEDNESDAY, and I haven't even photographed them. I keep waiting for a sunny day that just isn't going to happen.
And after the Wednesday deadline, I have a sketchbook to fill from The Sketchbook Project.
I am also working my way through a book entitled "The Creative Entrepreneur", which is helping me go from art-maker to art-business-lady.
2012 will be THE YEAR OF ART.
Once I quiet this critic and face my fear of success, it should be smooth sailing. (Ha ha ha)

due wednesday, hmm?
here is what i hope to be a helpful comment: sometimes when i am supposed to perform (live, ya know, on stage), i get really freaked out. i have two 'tricks' to get over & past the anxiety.
trick #1 - always wear a hat and sun-glasses
trick #2 - hold in my mind, one person whom i know will enjoy the set, and perform the entire set, as if that person is in the audience (and/or the only person in the audience).
point: i don't think you are afraid of success, i think you have a bit of performance anxiety in you ... coupled with 'perfection'.
so .. put on a hat and some sun glasses. don't worry about it being perfect (your idea of perfection will change over time any way). and pick one person you know or knew -- put together your art thing, like it was just for them.
:)
