Appreciation of valuable veteran artists favored by the Islamic Republic of Mashhad
Artists often feel guilty for not having a “real” job and that they should be contributing more to the family income. They then either feel guilty when they are in the studio away from their family or away from the studio and not working. But, guilt is counterproductive emotion. If you find yourself feeling this way, remind yourself that your work is important and needed – it is what makes you whole and able to contribute more fully to your family when you are there. You might want everyone to like your work, but that’s not going to happen. And, in fact, it’s better that not everyone does like your work.
