Well isn't this a fortunate coincidence.... I just finished last week a drawing of myself...
It is not a happy drawing. In a few words it illustrates how sad I felt as a kid. I have written more in here https://hive.blog/hive-158694/@creativemary/why-painting-this-was-so-powerful-solitude-on-the-planet-of-dreams
Hopefully my sad entry will not spoil the overall joy of your post G.
Galen Monet....... This sounds so artistic lol
I don't think it is a sad entry at all, but one that gives hope. Hope and knowledge that out of a dark place in your past, you are able to evolve into the beauty that is you today. An artist creating beautiful art from her heart.
I have come across similar exercises in my own art journey, but I honestly don't think that I have dug quite that deep (yet).
I love your painting in all its detail (and I am very happy to see that you are not 'selling' it for a couple of $$ like so many others). I know from my own work how meditative drawing these kinds of details are. I love doing it a lot!
Thank you so much! It is such a therapeutic experience for me. I am very grateful for my talent in arts, as art has always been my loyal companion throughout my journey in life.
I couldn't agree more with you 🙂
It's a lovely picture and yeah, I know, sometimes we get sad as kids and adults too. But there's always a smile to be found I guess.
If you were a neighbourhood kid around the place when I was also a kid you would have had much to laugh about because I did some stupid and funny things, most of which ended painfully for me, and with with laughter for others!
Thank you!
