Obviously being good at something makes it more enjoyable, but I think human beings need to express themselves in one way or another in order to feel fulfilled. Art, music, writing; all of it. <br /><br />Thanks for your comment~ I have never heard of those programs you mentioned... I will have to check them out.

I often feel the same way - that my work isn't good enough or doesn't measure up. When I start feeling that way, it's time to step back and remember why I do what I do. Because I love it. Because creating is as important as breathing. I'm (slowly) learning not to compare my work and to create from my heart. You are most definitely an artist and have every right to call yourself one! :)<br />xo,<br />LyndaLyndahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13213182072929718035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8757970811428049435.post-20023705431341395602010-08-19T22:12:43.192-04:002010-08-19T22:12:43.192-04:00You ARE an artist in your own right!
I sometimes...You ARE an artist in your own right! <br />I sometimes feel the same because my prints don't sell left and right on Etsy, like some of the other wonderful photogs, but I am always quick to remind myself that is only one measure of success. We create because we like to, and that is far more important. I need to frame up some of my own work for myself, too. It just never seems like a high priority, but I find myself thinking about it more and more. You should do it and show us some pix :)Victoria Bennett Beyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05626324454370022645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8757970811428049435.post-17606797729260089362010-08-19T05:17:44.698-04:002010-08-19T05:17:44.698-04:00Hey Mary....I wanted to comment again and say I lo...Hey Mary....I wanted to comment again and say I love this pic!<br /><br />I compare myself a lot too!
