HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
So, if you know me, you know that I'm usually talking about not trying to be perfect because NOTHING IN LIFE IS PERFECT. On the other hand, I talk about striving for excellence.
Striving for excellence in
art is about expressing yourself using your God given talent, having fun while
doing it, and discovering how to be able to put the brush down after your last
stroke, exhale, and smile while saying, “It is finished”.
In the process of striving for excellence in art, you're going to do some things that you don't like. You might call them mistakes. You won't learn how to do what you do like until you allow yourself to get through the things that you don't like! Allow yourself to make mistakes because it means that your trying something new! It means that you're experimenting and challenging yourself. It means that you're not playing it safe. That's the secret to getting to the smile part of my quote. :) Trust me, there's nothing like putting your brush down after that last stroke and smiling and saying to yourself, "It Is Finished".
So, cheers to the New Year. Cheers to trying new things and never ever giving up! Thanks to all my students who've made this past year a blessed one. I have the utmost respect and appreciation for all your thoughtfulness and kindness.
I do what I love and I love what I do and I look forward to bringing in the New Year with each and every one of you! - Jill Saur - Website: www.JillSaurFineArt.com
