Emma and the Fairy Queen 44

Everyone in the arts wonders sometimes whether or they are good enough, and questions whether they really ought to be following the path they are.  Or so I would suppose.  There are probably some exceptions with humongous egos who have never wondered.

I’m in an art class right now that makes me wonder why I’m doing this.  I get frustrated and angry, and I think “Why am I here?  I hate this.  I must not be a  real artist.”  And I wonder if my fellow students can laugh at themselves, because everything seems so serious.

But that is not the only art I do.  And my sketchbooks, full of characters from imagined worlds, remind me that while I am not perfect, I am capable.  I have my own style and pieces that I am proud of.  And regardless of what one professor thinks Art is, I am a storyteller and I will let no one tell me otherwise.
