Be Brave - Make Art Guest post by Donna Zagotta on Fine Art Tips

One of the blogging artists I admire  and read all the time is Lori McNee on her Fine Art Tips FB and Twitter pages. She will many times pass along other artists posts and I have passed those along before.. This is another good. Its a post by Donna Zagotta called Be Brave Make Art
some passages from that posting

"This world can be a scary place. There are plenty of people making very good money stirring up fear and hatred and calling it entertainment. Or even news. But there’s at least one way out of fear. Be brave, make art!

Why? Because art teaches us not to be afraid. Because every time we make art, we have to face our fears and overcome them. Do that enough, and you just might realize you’re capable not only in art, but other areas as well."

First, there’s that scary white surface. Paper, canvas, wood, it doesn’t matter. It’s blank and you have to fill it
Whew, you’re done. You kind of like this one. Now what? Don’t hide it up in your attic…dust-bunnies don’t appreciate your hard work. Shine your light
You may not make a lot of money (or maybe you will). Your friends may not like it (or maybe they will). You may not sell it (or maybe you will). But you will be one step closer to being unafraid.
