I was accused of being honest on my blog. I try to be but I'll say, I struggle with my ego just like very one else but I KNOW that for me to grow as an artist I have to realistically look at myself as the amateur that I am. That doesn't mean I will stay here but I have to work hard to humble myself and listen to critiques that I always want to be defensive over. That is why I listen to artists that I have absolute confidence in with the greatest care. It is easy to "wow" the general public; it is another thing to "wow" a colleague.
"Lord, help me always to be in this position, that I might give you all of the glory for anything I accomplish and take none for myself. Help me to stay motivated and to truly say I have done my best." Amen

Well, I think one can be praised for being honest - not "accused" of ;)
I think honesty is very important in art - which would be a good comment to make over on the "Underpaintings" blog kerfuffle about modern vs representational art - that was the "pompiers'" (academic painters') problem.
