I won a few competitions this year. In the moment of winning, I was in disbelief, then work and life just took off and I still haven’t had time to reflect on what it was to win those competitions. I succeeded while moving so fast forward I didn’t have time to look back to even a week pior. My vision is only what is the next thing to accomplish, the next thing to paint, or the next show to finish. I am starting to belive that this is what being an artist was meant to be, a focused effort on what the next expression is, no need or ability to turn back, just another step into the abyss with a hope that things will keep working out.
