Sometimes lifes hardest lessons are the best ones for us to learn.

That's about all I can say about my experience with Novemberfest. I learned alot for my first time ever trying to sell my paintings and getting them out for the public to see. I put a lot of work into them, and realized I'm really not a salesperson. I put so much a part of me into my work and to put them out there made me feel really vulnerable. I will continue to paint because I love it. But to try and sale them again might take more courage than I currently have. One day I may try it again.

I will say this however, I did not fail. I knew that I was stepping very far out of my comfort zone. I knew I would learn alot, and I did. If anything I succeeded in helping myself to grow in ways I could have never done without taking that step.

Eleanor Roosevelt herself said "Do one thing every day that scares you.” well, Eleanor - I think I've definatly done that, now it's time for the next step.. which is to keep going. Though I may need time to lick my wounds for a second I am very serious about this bussness and I love painting too much to give it up.
