I recently had five paintings rejected from a
local juried show.
After going through all the predictable reactions;
shock, anger, self doubt….
I was reminded of the Buddhist saying
”you never know when something bad could be good”
(and vice versa)
So I entered this favorite of “the rejects”
into another local Juried show.
“Roadside Attraction”
12 x 12 oil
It was not only accepted,
it received the 2nd place award in oils.
So, I guess a positive attitude and faith in yourself
goes a long way.
Not to mention,
juried shows do not mean a thing
about your talent or personal journey!
