Acrylic on canvas: 32 x 16 inches
As an artist I push myself to do the best paintings that I am capable of, but it's hard for me sometimes to overcome feelings of self-doubt and inadequacy that I have. To me Rocky is a symbol of believing in yourself and living up to your full potential. This painting is a reminder to me to be proud, and to always do the best I can. Also, I've been reading "The Artist's Way" by Julia Cameron. It's a great motivational self-help book for artists, or anyone feeling like they are creatively blocked.
How did you get this into the Hopkins gallery? You should update this post with that awesome placement!
