Flourish: Grow or develop in a healthy or vigorous way. Especially as the result of a particularly favorable environment.
I find the artistic community a favorable environment to flourish in. They know what it is to feel insecure about their gifts but have an innate urge to create and to share the fruits of their labor.
Consequently they are usually wonderful at encouraging others to step out and share their work too. They are also generous with tips and support along the way.
Art is subjective, so if you don’t like a particular piece whatever it may be, there is no need to comment. Just find what you do appreciate and give praise.
Being vulnerable is part and parcel of being an artist, so let’s continue to be kind and supportive of one another.
