A journal of my journey as a Language Lecturer who accidently and happily morphed into a Folk & Decorative Artist. Along the way I rant and ramble on issues which I believe in and which affects my freedom and sense of fair play . Of late, I've also dabbled in Baking and Cake Decorating and would love to teach all 3 if time permits !
Another day, another request ..... for another rose,.... I'm going to scream now, so forgive me for this short update......................................
I have been following your blog for a few weeks now, and I know your now familiar lament of always having to paint roses.
How I wish I could paint them like you do. My roses don't even resemble cabbages!!!
Anyways, I thought you needed a cyber hug today, so I'm dropping you a line, and a *hug*
I only started painting a few months ago. For the first time. And, I'm only just learning. One day, I hope to be good enough to be happy with my own work.
Right now, everything I paint is flat - like you so correctly say in your previous post.
I am doing this just for me, and sometimes these 'older' hands don't do what they're asked to do. In my brain, I know what needs to be done. Then, I think I'm doing it. But when I look at the finished product, I can only sigh.
I look at your work, and I am in awe. You have been blessed with a wonderful talent.
But go ahead and have your scream. You've earned it!
