Scared - Original

ScaredAcrylic on canvas, 2023Serial number CW0874Feelings collection20x16" (50.8 x 40.6 cm) Fear can stop us, or it can push us forward. When I painted Scared, I was facing a moment of uncertainty, where everything felt too big, too unknown. But I kept going. Because being scared doesn’t mean we stop—it means we have something worth fighting for. We all feel fear—of failing, of being different, of chasing dreams that seem impossible. But what if we leaned into it instead? What if we used it to push forward, to grow, to become even more ourselves? This painting is a reminder: Don’t let fear hold you back. Dream big. Be yourself. And most of all—keep going. (This text was written by Betina, with the help of ChatGPT, and approved by Clara) The frame is not included; the frame in the photo is for illustrative purposes only.
