Case and point for myself:
This is one of my earlier pieces from 2006 called "Temptation." Very simple, but a pretty direct statement about relationships - specifically marriage - obviously. It came out very quickly, not too much analyzing.... It's also not meant to be hostile, but I think it is true and realistic and a bit scary. My friend Tam raved about this picture. She has no idea, but I always feel so much better if Tam responds well to something I drew. She doesn't suffer anything that isn't immediately engaging. However, she'll never know about this wonderful assurance I get from her because she never reads my blogs. Anyway, I'm so glad she LOVED this.She excitedly told me how it reminded her of a friend she knew, how it was very accurate, liked the colors, many things more....and I always bask in her praise because she can be hard to please.
She's going to kill me when she sees this:
I'm not quite sure HOW or WHEN I convinced myself this was a good idea, but it's all on paper, and you can't CTRL-Z oil pastel.
