My thoughts for Artists on Good Friday.
The Artist life can be filled with rejection and disappointments, but these are not just reserved for Artists, everybody in all walks of life must experience these negative things.
The question we face as Artists is, what are we going to do about it that will make a real difference in our lives, when we are challenged by these negative emotions?
It rains on the happy and the sad at the same time.
The sun shines on the rich and the poor at the same time.
Life is Life, and it happens to us all, how we handle it is the important question?
As difficult as it may be sometimes we must respond to setbacks.
We must forgive people who hurt us and say unkind things to us.
We must, no matter how heavy the rain or how dark the night is, choose to smile and be positive.
Always look past the harsh word or insensitive comment and ask what is going on inside that person?
What could I do to help that person?

I believe we as Artists are on this earth to bring joy and happiness into peoples lives.
We create beautiful things to fill other peoples live with colour, creativity and joy and to inspire them to see beyond themselves and the issues of their lives.
So artists, in the darkest of nights and the heaviest of rains and as hard as it maybe to do.
Choose to smile.
Choose positive caring words.
Choose to be positive.
Silence that critic inside your head and focus on the wonderful gift that you have been given.
Yes it is easy for me to say these things and sometimes hard to put them into practice and yes, I do not know what you are going through in your life but I do know what life is like because it happens to us all.
As I told a dear friend of mine as she watched another friend slowly pass away.
Rejoice in all the gifts that you have.
Rejoice in all the people who love and care for you.
Take time to smell the flowers and look at the beautiful sunsets.
And most of all, be gentle on yourself.
Life goes by so quick.
So Artist, get up and paint and be creative and be a blessing to everyone around you as you being joy and creativity into their lives through your wonderful gift.

Give and the darkness slowly goes away and rain gently stops.
