| In art, we can only be born again and again. This is one of the only fields where you can get better as you age. Since this is the case, I say, never be afraid to try new things, to mess up and to get out of that comfort zone. Sure you're creating art, but what's expression if you're just spitting out the same quality/style/approach for years because you think you've reached your height. Where's the challenge in that. This is all about challenging your own beliefs over and over. Creating your personal stories over and over in different ways. The "deliberate recreation of a new and special reality that grows from your response to life." Just knowing the masters of art history painted into their 80's (if they lived that long) and were still revolutionizing/experimenting and learning...keeps me at it. You only fail if you fool yourself. |
