When it comes to the art of creating, and my approach to life, the right side of my brain gets ALOT of air time. I wouldn't be pursuing and doing what I am doing if I wasn't predominately right brained. I love right brain activities and thrive on them. However, when the left side of my brain screams for air time, I sometimes say, "Later, go away kid, ya bother me." Not this time. The left side now wanted equal time and demanded stimulation. I needed to make a decision and it required that I do an honest self-assessment of a situation. I have a deadline.
I bring this up because, yesterday, I made the agonizing decision not to renew my contract this year to do the
One of a Kind Show & Sale Chicago. As much as I love everything about this show, I really can't afford to do it now. Pride, desire, and ego have to take a back seat. I will still create, paint, and market my art, especially online, and try other venues.
I did not arrive at this decision entirely on my own. I reached out to left- brained dominate friends, and one in particular whose opinion I always cherish, heed and respect. I am now comfortable with my decision. I knew deep down it was the "left" right thing to do. I will apply the would be show money to get my new work shot , redo my website, and MARKET, MARKET MARKET.
There are two sides in a decision-making process. It feels good to have a balanced mind.
