Original work.

Always strive to be is the best Artist that you can possibly be, we are not in a competition, we cannot be another Artist, we can only be ourselves.

If we envy other Artists, which is not good and copy their work to prove to ourselves we are as good, you must remember it is not your original work it belongs to another Artist, so it can never be as good, at best it’s factory Art, a poor reflection of someone else’s creative ability.

Sadly many Artist look at their own work and criticise themselves so badly that they never show the work and go and copy another Artists painting because others have said it was good, yet that can never be your work, if you copy their painting it will always be just a pale shadow of someone else’s original work, a copy.

No matter what you think of your own painting, show it, it is your original work, don't let that self defeating inner voice, the “thief” rob you of your own creativity, the work that you produce defines you as an Artist.

An original voice or just a poor reflection of someone else.

Your own original work is always your best work because it is you, it talks of you and who you are.

If you do not think your work is good enough, ignore this self defeating inner talk from the “thief” be courageous and show your work, you may be pleasantly surprised at how it is received.

Your own original work is always your best work, don’t copy.
