Hi Maria*
100% agree that to be an artist you must have your own vision.
Wolf-like.
(working together in a pack does have its’ benefits, but ultimately You must create that which You believe in.)

OH I so agree that we people should be doing what we were gifted to do as we are here only once and why not do something we are passionate about and good at. I used to ask for peoples opinion on my work but not anymore as the way I look at it, either you like it, or you don’t (case close).

I could not agree more…her in the UK I’m a champion of The Goats and the sheep…Goats just do it…sheep follow what everyone else is doing..all those dreadful formulaic landscapes…why portraits? when the camera was invented about 140 years ago…ditto pet portraits

This is great advice! I like your blog. As an artist who doesn’t have a ton of artist friends in real life, it is great to find good sources of information. I found your posts on Drew Brophy’s website helpful, and now I will follow these!

I completely agree with you in that you should not be afraid to stand out in the crown in what ever artistic values you have. My opinion is if they do not agree with me or my work then you know were you can take it you get what I mean don’t you.

The type of art I do is that of 3D wood carvings with a rustic painted result. I will use whatever material that I can get my hands on even it is twigs from the back yard. I hope to soon have some of my work online.

I’m definitely a wolf and proud of it!! hehe Love this post! Never heard it described quite like that! But you described not only my art career – but my LIFE! I don’t care what others think about what I do! They never quite “understand” it anyway! It’s not a 9 – 5…behind a desk…regular paycheck kind of thing! In life I do what I feel like doing – and not what others expect of me. I care what I think – and how I feel! I don’t “go along” with the norm – you might say! Or what’s “expected”! I fly my own path – and I have a great husband and family who love me for it! Happiness — your OWN happiness – is the secret to a great life! If others don’t understand – or get it – too bad! I’ll take the lonely – but I do know a lot of other wolves that will keep me company when I need it! hehe Keep up the great posts Maria! I’m sharing this one with my artist friends! Take Care!
