This is my experience too. I am happy I didn't start painting until after I
had given up the idea of becoming an 'artist'. It is so much pleasure.
[Case]
I have never even pretended to be a good guitar player, but at one time or
another I have been paid to write. I didn't really like it much since it
required producing art dictated by the clock. I really quit writing anything
at all for years after reading the first page or so of Tom Robbin's "Even
Cowgirls Get the Blues" I quoted the passage awhile back. It was about how
the first amoeba is still out there in the world somewhere.
I thought the passage was so perfect I couldn't even finished reading the
book. I thought nothing I could ever come up with could compare to it. It
was all a big gumption trap. If the appreciation of another's art stops you
from even trying what's the point of artistry at all.
I am in recovery...
