Visiting with a young artist this week in my studio brought to mind how artists often hold back in their artwork. Although well executed, his work showed obvious signs of "holding back." Why do we hold back? Why do we doubt our true nature and the explosive ideas that scream inside our heads at times--and then putting them off until we finish our current project? Why do we often refrain from saying no to the intrusive doubts that enter our thoughts. Is it our head conversing with our intuition or do you think we have been conditioned to hold back for fear of offending someone or even better...surprising our self...interesting why artists hold back in their work and don't go the whole nine yards. Could it be that we don't see it, yet others do...
Pay attention to the cravings to work bigger, stronger or bolder and the signs of misappropriated time and consideration we give away to others.
