11/9: I ask my mother-in-law if she wants a frame off of a painting her sister bought my husband. The painting has letters that look like they were cut from a magazine spelling out the start of the “Declaration of Independence.” It looks childish. She says, “I don’t want it, but he has to keep it. My sister gave it to him.” I asked her why he should keep something he doesn’t like. She didn’t reply.

Most artists have works they done that will probably never see the light of day again. I know I do. If we had an ugly painting contest, I bet I’d win. You know what, though? I do pull those paintings out of storage from time to time. After I look at them and ask myself, “what was I trying to do with this one?” I look at them in a different way. I know that because of those ugly paintings, I was able to achieve what I have achieved. I know that they ‘took one for the team’ to allow me to experiment and evolve. Artists shouldn’t be hard on themselves when they create something they don’t like. It’s part of the process, and it’s an important part. I just wanted to say that after reading a few posts from artists who felt they didn’t have the talent. You do. Keep at it and enjoy the process. That’s my two cents. . . . . . . #uglypaintings #arte #artists #artadvice #advice #artprocess #discussion #artdiscussion #createart #artstudio #paintings #workinprogress #talent #artcommunity #makeart #wscranmore (at Milwaukie, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKaGO-Wn2EJ/?igshid=m9mkws193nsx

After writing my blog post about making bad art last week about getting past my anxiety, my friend was inspired to create her own bad art to just go through the process. So that is what I am doing here. I’m listening to my Debussy piano music while painting with fun, happy colors! Hope some of you will be inspired to create bad art to just go through the process.

Some of what #cityhall commissions as #art. If it were grafitti on the side of an overpass or building, I would like it more. #uglypainting #artisintheeyeofthebeholder #notafan #calgary https://ift.tt/2lBb8Yz

Ugly Painting 3. I think I got a series going here. ;) Not as crazy about this one but it sure was fun and I learned some things, which is the point of this exercise. Whoever said we have to like what we make anyway? Job number one is to let it come through. #trusttheprocess #uglypainting #painting #acrylic #acrylics #process #experimentalart #modernart #art #arte (at Portland, Oregon)
