An Artest Fears

Alex was a talented artist, But she had a slight problem: no one else knew about her. She was too afraid to share her work with the world. She knew that her paintings were good; even her parents, who loved her dearly, loved her pictures, but Alex thought she was not good enough; Alex thought that people would laugh at her or that she would be rejected.

One day, Alex was walking through the park when she saw a group of people gathered around an artist who was painting a portrait of a young girl. Alex stopped to watch, and she was immediately captivated by the artist's skill and passion. The way he painted was like Monet's work; the smell of the paint as he painted brought the color to life.  

Alex approached the artist and complimented him on his work. She was fascinated by his confidence and brush strokes on the Canvus; he was indeed an artist, and Noah was kind and welcoming. He invited Alex to watch him paint, and they spent the rest of the afternoon in the park, talking about their love of Art and the general things about life.

Noah told Alex that he used to be afraid of failing as well, too. He said he feared rejection and worried about what others would think and speak about his work, just like she had the same fears. But then he realized that the only way to improve his Artwork was to take risks and put his Art out there. He did not care what other people thought of his work; it was for the world to see.

Noah's words had inspired Alex. She decided she would stop letting her fear of failure control her life. She started painting again; this time, she didn't worry about other people's thoughts about her Artwork. She just focused on creating Art that she loved.

Alex's paintings were beautiful. Her unique style captured the essence of the world around her. She started sharing her work online, and she quickly gained a following.

One day, several weeks after she saw Noah in the park, Alex was surprised to receive an email from a gallery owner in New York who was interested in showing her work. Alex was so thrilled that the New York Gallery wanted to have her paintings displayed. She could not wait to share this thrilling moment with her parents. Alex decided then and there that she would go ahead and book a show for her Artwork, which was a huge success.

Alex was finally free from her fear of failure. She had learned that it's okay if her Art is not perfect. Yes, she did make some mistakes, but only in her eyes. Alex realized that other people could not see the little errors in her paintings, But other people could not or would not pick out her mistakes. Only she can. All people see is the beauty of the Art that Alex created. She also learned that giving up is the only way to fail. She realized the most important thing is to be true to herself and make whatever Art she loves to create.

But Alex's journey wasn't over yet. After her successful gallery show, she started to receive commissions from all over the world. She was painting for celebrities, politicians, and even royalty.

Alex's newfound success brought her so much joy but came with some challenges. She had become overwhelmed by the pressure to live up to other people's expectations; her new worry was that she wouldn't be able to keep up with the demand for her work and would eventually disappoint her fans.

One day, Alex was working on a painting for a famous art collector when she suddenly realized she couldn't do it anymore. She put her paintbrush down, and with her head in her hand, she cried for a long while. Alex realized she had not taken any vacation or time off to relax for over six months. She felt like she was losing her creativity and her passion for Art.

Alex decided to take a break from painting. She traveled to a remote island and spent several months in a small cabin. She spent her days hiking, swimming, and reading. She hadn't touched a paintbrush in months.

When Alex returned home, she felt refreshed and inspired. She realized she needed to step back and reconnect with herself and her Art. She decided to focus on painting for her enjoyment without worrying about what other people thought.

Alex started painting again; this time, she felt more accessible. She experimented with new styles and techniques and created some of her most beautiful works.

Alex started sharing her new work online, and her fans were immediately drawn to its authenticity and honesty. Alex had finally found her voice as an artist and was no longer afraid to share it with the world.

Alex's story is a reminder that it's okay to take breaks and to follow your path. Don't let anyone tell you what kind of Art you should create or how to live. Be true to yourself and your passion; the rest will follow.
