Guest guest Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 I went to your web site and think your sketches are wonderful! Maybe you could have a little more faith in them.. If you look at some of the " famous " artists, their stuff was very different... Picasso, Dali and many more. I wonder if they judged their work as poor. I can relate to your selling one. I sold my first acrylic painting this year for $20.. I didn't know any better and had put that price on it. I think the buyer probably purchased it for the frame which was very pretty and different. I just chocked it up to experience and form then on put a much higher value on them. I know that I have a hard time seeing any much value in my own stuff. I do the same with my poetry, stories and more. I hope you reconsider yours. I really like them. Sandy Wow--that was just what I was going to suggest--going for a long walk. You may even inspire others to do the same thing. There may be others who are looking for the same thing you are. And drawing is also a great idea. I usually do take my sketchbook, and draw people at events. If you want to look at my website (www.augustcoreopsis.blogspot.com), and click on the sketchbook tag, you can see some of my sketches from various parties and meetings.. Only once has anyone ever told me to stop; usually folks are curious, and want to see them. I go to parties because I want to connect with people I don't usually see, even though I vastly prefer small groups. Good thoughts! Tilley > > > > > > > > > > Hey everyone!

I eat what I want and usually feel good after the initial meal, but as the time wears on and the food is still out, I pick and nibble and get uncomfortably full. I don't feel guilty or beat myself up, but it's not pleasant to feel like you swallowed a cinder block. > > > > > > > > > > I'm not comfortable with big group, even my extended family, and I feel like I kind of get left out of conversations because I'm sort of alone in my age group. My other female cousins who are close to my age all have babies and I don't, so they tend to group up and I feel like I don't have much to contribute. My mom and aunts all hang out together, but I don't feel like I have much to say there either. I love seeing my family, but crowds overwhelm me and I usually feel like just going into another room by myself. I worry that this will appear rude or anti-social, so instead I stay where everyone else is and eat because I don't feel like I can do much else. It's exhausting to try to fit into a conversation that has nothing to do with me. > > > > > > > > > > Does anyone else struggle with this? > > > > > > > > > > -McKella > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
