Alyssa in the Garden

I think this is my favorite painting, so far, this year.

I am currently struggling through yet another bout of no confidence. I just don't understand what makes "great" or even "good" art. I know art is in the eye of the beholder but still.......

Somewhere out there I hope to find my niche. So far I haven't found it. I will pout awhile to be sure but I think I'll pull up my bootstraps and get back out there. It's unfortunate that I encounter this "roadblock" just when I have to take the summer away from my painting buddies.

I refuse to believe my mother was right.
