While showing is not the primary reason I create, I do like getting opinions on my work from knowledgeable judges. In May there is a juried fired arts show that I will enter some pieces in. I've learned that pleasing my inner muse is critical to being happy as an artist though. So while I enjoy entering art competitions I have also developed a thick hide to criticism LOL. For example, on one juror's card I once received the comment "Obviously not your best work." I mean what do you do with a comment like that other than laugh and move on? For whatever it's worth, that particular piece had won several times in other shows in large divisions, so I did think it was one of my better pieces LOL.
