Artist Support….Post 4

Support to an artist, means absolutely everything to them.

It begins with showing an interest, and then trying it on for size. And after while and with a show of skill developed, a passion arises. One that sometimes even surprises the new artist as well. Going into it wide eyed and curiosity for it even higher. But then one day, the person or persons you believe to care, don’t support your artistic dreams and aspirations. Treat it and seen as something you’re wasting your life on. Talk about shattering a dream, and even worse trying to redirect you elsewhere. To something you have no interest in at all or ever. Because of what they believe, instead of believing in you instead.

But for an artist to get that full support, catapults and thrives in ways that will further shape them later down the road. But the first and initial support for an artist, should always be self. That is the start and from others would be a bonus. Oftentimes we’re too affected and redirected by others, instead standing our ground and staying the course. The pathway and journey we were called to do, and if nothing else, do this and nothing else either with our lives. In a perfect world, this would be ideal. But in our imperfect world we as artists must be who we are and were meant to be. And never allow the fire to be extinguished, by anyone or anything.

How many of us artists can relate to this??
