Good afternoon everyone! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Today, instead of posting a painting or work in progress, I am sharing yet another “rejection” letter. I posted my first one a couple months ago and talked about my fear of failure. I realized that my fear ran deep. It kept me in a paralyzing comfort zone, where I was afraid of even taking risks with my art. All I was painting were things I knew people would like, but I got bored, my work grew stale, my frustration had frustrations of its own. I gave myself invisible boundaries and walls that are proving hard to break down but I am taking a sledgehammer to them. Into the rejection folder it shall go and on to the next project! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What fears keep you from taking risks? Let me know down below! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🎨🐾🌙🐾🎨 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #rejection #rejectionletter #rejectionletters #fear #fearoffailure #fearofrejection #theivorybunny #chasethebunny #dowhatyouwant #growthmindset #art #artcompetition #artcompetitions #failure #failingisgood #artlife #artistlife #artist #wildlife #wildlifeart #conservationart #conservationartist #breakinginvisiblebarriers (at Springfield, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvcCTdOhJCE/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17t8uma7i6vs0
