Sometimes you have to be your own best cheerleader. It matters not who likes your posts or who friends you. Sometimes you must come to the point in time where you have prayed and no one is there but you. 

That's okay.

Be your own friend. Like your own stuff. Enter the exhibit. Host the big dinner party. 

I'm taking my own advice. Despite the fear, I'm entering in two paintings into an exhibit I've wanted to enter for at least three years. The odds are stacked, but I can not win what I don't enter.

Art Everyday Month - Accountability

New painting progress--Oil on canvas 

I told a friend today that posting daily is keeping me accountable to creating daily.   

It's funny what happens when you share a goal with someone. What about when you share a goal in a format like this?

I have found that accountability helps us use muscles we already had. The "want to" muscle. The "I wish" muscle.

Accountability + creativity = much productivity.
