On Monday I had a little bit of an unusual but lovely experiencing with a man on a train. If you read yesterday's Creative Journeys Tag post you would have seen that I said I used to be really self conscious about speaking about my work and stuff but I feel like it's becoming better. And on Monday? I feel like I pushed myself out there a little. 

After finding he started asking about my work and what my plans were for the future. It was really lovely to get to speak to a total stranger like this as I don't think it something that really happens all that often nowadays. Plus, it was nice to be complimented on my art work! 

With my experience of actually exhibiting in a non-educational format earlier this year I feel like I'm really starting to make strides in being able to speak more and more about my work and not feel like I need to hide behind some persona. 

Anyway, this is just a bit of a ramble! But I think it's so important to really push yourself, to get your work out there and not be afraid of it! I'm not going to lie either, I think it's so great when people actually spend the time and sit on transport and talk to each other instead of looking at their phones or reading or whatever else it is! I tend to do this a lot so I'm being slightly hypocritical but it's so great to get into a proper conversation with people!
