The article was exactly what a brand new artist needs to hear. I just submitted my art work to my first open call juried art show and will not find out if my paintings are accepted until next week. It had been eight years since I picked up a paint brush. I started painting again this past winter. My stomach was turning once I left the guild after seeing other submissions. I was already expecting and fearing the rejection. After reading this, you have calmed my nerves and changed my mindset. As exciting as it would to be accepted, I will still find my yes in the rejection and continue to grow as an artist.
