Fear is universal - the way through it, is not

Fielding - digital painting -2005

This is the last of of a ten part series. The entire ten points (without further explanation) are available as a "free download" at outhousestudios.net.

Acknowledge fear and ignore it.  

• Fear may come on many different levels -
• fear of uncovering something you don’t want to see;
• fear of having your work seen, heard or read and not received well;
• fear of producing something really exceptional.

Who cares? - just do it - it will be fine.

Easier said than done, but then again the fear is almost always much worse than the task or event we are dreading - I know I am not the only one who has experienced this.

This is both the most amusing and perhaps least useful of the ten points. Fear is irrational - it is not logic or saying so that gets us beyond it. We find our way through it in our own way.

The above art piece was chosen because - I remember when I created it - I was a little afraid of ruining a good piece by adding figures - not a lot - but I remember being tentative at first.
