When artwork is not accepted (and "Chatting at the Sky")

I've fallen in love with the writings in this online blog (below). She has a fine way of expressing herself. I especially like this quote about the rejection some artist's feel when their work is not accepted into exhibitions and juried show:
"The job of the artist is not to convince people to like what you have created. The job of the artist is to CREATE."

  2. Thank you Emily. I hope it's ok that I reference your words. I first heard of your site on my other Blog: http://art-a-day.blogspot.com/2011/01/interesting-quote.html#comments
    It's a fun blog, where a lot of (mostly local) artists, come together for the month of January with a shared goal of creating art daily. It's been quite inspiring.
    Take good care.
