While I was in the middle of my last mural at my old church before I had finally decided to leave, I was seriously approached by another larger church to revamp their children's dept. When people see murals they generally fall under the spell and begin to suffer "paint envy". I had even put in an extensive proposal. It is so hard to make money from ones art that such opportunities are hard to turn away.
They have just now responded positively but they took so long to get back that I thought that the word had gotten around that I had walked and they would no longer consider being involved with me. Although I was sad that I was missing out on yet another dream I was also relieved because I did not think I could handle having to work daily inside a Pentecostal church. If I could look at my self like I was an electrician and just working on wiring then may be I could manage. But I am an artist and an idealist. The thought of my work being used as the backdrop to teach the love of G--- all mixed up with error and abuse is more than I can stand. Truth and error can not mix, everything becomes error.
I think I have say no, but doing so also means turning down a great opportunity. Thoughts anyone?
