Related to pride & humility which I spoke about in my previous post, I sometimes wonder as I post whatever new painting I've done up to Facebook and eagerly anticipate the comments / compliments that might come.. if I'm not just trying to show off? Am I just trying to gratify my pride? Is posting up artwork just a way to fish for compliments and seek praise and validation? Perhaps. There's probably some of that feeling there. How is that different from putting up work on in a physical gallery and inviting everyone you know to come to the art show?
