"Undeserving”
There is this innate fear that comes with finally stepping into your calling, many artists and creative minds identify with a wanting to self sabotage, a feeling that we do not deserve our successes and that they may be just by luck or chance, in this painting the characters are called to be onlookers to witness the work to remind the writer, the painter, the photographer, etc That we are all deserving of every good thing occurring in our lives. We worked for it.
