I disagree. Some true artists do quit. There can be many reasons, not just criticism, that will lead someone to quit, and of course it will hurt. But I agree that you shouldn’t quit, that if you have done so – find your way back, even if it’s doing something in a small way. It’s vital to your true self.

Very true, you don’t just quit because someone doesn’t like your art or you get rejected, not everyone likes the same things, that’s just how it is. I just wrote a post on my blog (urbansoule.blogspot.com) about how I was and am going through a creative “slump”. Sales are slow right now, it’s cold, it’s dark and I don’t feel like painting, but I make myself go to my studio, whether I make something or not, I might just sit there, I might clean and organize or I might even paint… doesn’t matter, you have to keep going and get in your studio, everything passes with with time, never give up and for sure, never quit. This week I made three new large paintings. So my creative “slump” has ended.
