"Opposite Points of View"
I think many artists enjoy the act of painting or sculpting or whatever it is they do to create. Afterwards we may feel good when we receive a compliment or recognition of our work but to me it is a different feeling than the one I get while actually doing the work. Too much of the one can cause me trouble, to get a swelled head which interferes with the next painting.
Recently I received compliments from the owners of paintings I did over 25 years ago. Perhaps because of the separation in time it gave me a good feeling without messing with my thoughts about my current work. It felt good to know people were getting pleasure from something I painted many years ago.
