I posted my recent painting on Facebook as well as here on my blog, looking for feedback. At first all I got were likes, no comments, but when I mentioned that everyone was being too nice with no critiques, a co-worker said she didn't feel she was able to criticize as she can't draw, but that she really liked the colours. Then earlier today, she suggested I do a children's story to go along with the painting, as she just feels like reading to kids when she looks at it. How's that for positive feedback! Now I feel I need to plumb my creativity and do a series of connected paintings on a similar theme, and see if I can actually write a kids book. I could try to get good photos of the paintings and publish it online, perhaps?
Something to mull over!
