Hi Blog,
Here is one for Kornalina, I hope she likes it. I was going to do a larger drawing because of her great ink, but couldnt resist just trying to focus on her eyes. Ill do a larger piece at some point to include more of her fabulous ink and gorgeous look.
Now, on to something that has been bugging me for awhile and the reason I almost left SG. At one point a short time ago I may have mentioned feeling like an outsider, an outcast, EXCLUDED. These feelings were fleeting yet extremely strong to the point I had flashbacks to the bullying I endured in schoola little latent PTSD. Im not going to name names or make a reference to a specific incident because it doesnt matter anymore. Suffice to say that at the time I felt betrayed by some of the people here and even what SG stands for as a community. Now I know I over-reacted and that the feelings were more about how I see myself as what anyone here did, or didnt do. Thats why I am re-thinking my place here. I dont mind being an outsider, have been one all my life. Ive NEVER belonged to any group as suchsure I am in two bands and take part in other group activities, but I am primarily a loner. The artwork I do is really for myself. If I do a portrait of someone here and they like it, goodgreat in fact. However, the satisfaction I gain is from the knowledge that I did the very best I could do on the piece of art. Its like I tell my students, look for the good inside YOU and compliment it every daydont wait for the outside world to compliment you. If I dont like a drawing or painting, then it goes in my failure filethats a BIG portfolio full of artwork that DIDNT work. I keep it so that when I get a little too high and mighty and full of myself I look in it and see all the blunders, goofs, and JUNK Ive done in the pastvery humbling! Anyway, so Im not leaving SGcouldnt do that for Id miss some of the people here far too much. Im just going to consider who my true friends are and what I can give them of myselfthe love I have for themplus the artwork I can give them. So, Blog, thats all thats on my pea-brain for today. I found out I have an interview for a part-time counseling position at a small elementary school (IDEAL!!!!) on Tuesday so keep your fingers crossed. Now I am going to go pull weeds and then work on a painting of Jaclyn.
I love you SGalways have, always will! XOXOXOXOXO
