Starring; My Ego

This is a 12″x16″ mixed media painting on clay board. It is $375 and is available HERE. If you have any questions about purchasing this piece or about my lay away plan, please email me maria@mariapacewynters.com

I have to be honest, my ego has been giving me a beating lately. I guess it knew I would be willing to listen. When it sees an open door, it doesn’t wait around for a formal invitation. So, yes, I have had an unwelcome visitor, and it has been a really, really bad house guest … criticizing my ideas, questioning my talent, and telling me I’d never paint another good painting.

My ego even started to unpack its bag and hang its things in the spare closet. I saw its toothbrush next to mine in the bathroom, dirty clothes in the hamper, underpants hanging over the towel rack. Its presence could be seen at every turn.

What could I do? I decided to bring in the big guns.

Did you know that The Red-Head eats egos for breakfast? Me either.

Thanks Red-Head, you are my savior and you really can kick ego!
