With following your artwork (or shall I say "heartwork") there are just so many, many ways in which to go. Sometimes I believe that your work often takes on a personality of its own and has a will of its own that at times, can be astounding.
In particular, I wonder if this new series of paintings I am working on is the right path, is there even a path that is "right" or heck, is there a path? Self doubt can overwhelm.
I thought that once I got to this age that this stuff of not being certain would have subsided and been replaced by great wisdom. How wrong to have ever thought this way. Better put, how naive.
Wondering if you are wasting your time, should start over anew, paint over the canvas and begin again, seems to often weigh heavily on my mind. And I am not the only artist I know who shares these thoughts.
I am not really sure where all of this rambling is leading other than to say that when trying something new, being unsure of where it will lead and still trying to remain open to the uncertain, is a really scary thing.
The only solace I find at this point about fear is that I now know that it doesn't go away when attempting something new and that you have to make friends with it and push ahead in spite of it all.
