I Just Got The Best Critique That I Didn't Know I Needed

If you’ve seen this Instagram post, you know I was feeling a bit bummed after the launch of my rainbow collection.

The post was about how people who complete a big accomplishment usually feel lost afterwards because they spend so much time on that ONE THING and then one day it’s done.

And then it’s like… now what?

I spent a lot of time thinking about what it was that I was not happy about. It wasn’t the money. Although money is great, I didn’t make these paintings because of money. I made them because they made me happy.

I let that day be a “sad day” and I busied myself with cleaning instead.

Then this morning I got the best critique I didn’t even know I needed.

I read that and instantly realized why I was disappointed with these rainbow paintings.

THEY WEREN’T DONE!!

Don’t get me wrong- I love these paintings, and the two that I’ve sold are going to great homes of people that LOVE them, but damn that hit the nail on the head for me.

As soon as I could, I went into the craft room, took one of the paintings, and did this:

It’s not black and white, and it’s not done, but man do I like it better already.

Thanks, Brandi - I appreciate it more than you know.
