I feel so much when I paint, and cannot help feeling like a fraud when it's complete because I can never find the best way to make the image fit my feelings.

I get it. I have wanted to post for awhile about a very similar situation. When I work I feel exhilarated but feel like a fraud. I never feel like I am actually good enough. I had a small gallery interested in some of my stuff and I completely avoid them because I feel like they were just being nice. I feel like my stuff isn't any better then anyone else's and am constantly berating myself.

artists are thier own worst critic. It's too bad they can't see how much thier work has such an impact on others who experience their work. could they not imagine a world where true art is never shown, heard orotherwise experienced? your only beig frauds to your innocent souls!

art is not perfection.........it is a description of your soul........the colors used are stepping stones or lyrics that say "its me, i am what i am}.......that is your fantastic universe,,,,,,,,,,i paint and i see myself ,,,,,,enjoy life

I can't paint or draw worth a damn....but I write poetry when I'm sad or confused. Those who have read it say I should publish my work, but I always feel like it's not quite good enough for that....they are just expressions of myself that mean more to me than they might to someone else.
