Yesterday, my sister helped me hang my paintings at Cafe Darwin.  She was asking me how much I wanted for them and I quoted her a pretty high price because I'm loathe to part with them.  It's always more difficult for me when I start painting something new; like the ocean paintings.  My fear is that I will never be able to create something as good or better.  Essentially I don't have much confidence in my abilities.

She suggested that maybe it was better to charge less and get them out there.  "After all", she asked, "What are you going to do with all of them?"   I use to feel like selling them would give me some credibility, but I don't really care about that so much any more.  However, maybe it's time to let go. 

I guess I just need to get to work again.   I can get easily distracted by the holidays or remodeling projects.  I'm going to start building a studio and what's the point if I'm spending all my time on the job instead of painting?
