Imperfectly perfect painting

So, this painting took me over a year to paint. And I sincerely thought it was awful, sad, dark and misunderstanding to others. How could I think such a thing, to assume what others would feel about my art. I found it absolutely beautiful and that should really be all that matters. There’s no wrong way to create art. I was judging myself just as I do when I look in the mirror every morning. This next part of my writing I use beautiful words, in such a way it is exactly what I felt and thought when I took this picture of my unique painting. I’m often the worst critic of myself. I loved painting this, I enjoyed it and it made me happy. Then to judge it so harshly just as I judge myself.
