Aries Horoscope for week of December 31, 2009
One of my favorite landscape painters makes a livable wage from selling her art. She has had many gallery showings and has garnered much critical acclaim. That's the good news. The bad news is that she feels obligated to keep churning out more landscape paintings -- even when her muse nudges her to take a detour into, say, abstract expressionism or surrealistic portraits. Galleries don't want anything from her except the stuff that has made her semi-famous. "Sometimes I fantasize about creating a series of 'Sock Puppet Monkeys Playing Poker,'" she told me. If she were an Aries, I'd advise her to do what I think you should do in 2010: Listen to what your version of the sock puppet monkeys are urging you to do.

I have a friend who gave up painting. he was selling in galleries in London & Bath...very good. But he was changing, it wasn't liked. in the end he just stopped. he did building work and youth forum theatre work instead.I was amazed (he too) at how many people were disappointed in him, how many people, artists & non-artists, somehow had an investment in him being An Artist. It upset their world view that he wasn't. he has stared work recently - small...and produced a book of poetry.
It's strange how much other people have invested interest in other people's success. Peer presssure is tough, and being an artist, we are perhaos the most vulnerable because we put our soul into our art. And when we change, our art changes. But being pigeon holed is not healthy etiher. I'm happy that he has found a new outlet. That is so important...
Happy New Year Auvery Eva!!!
