Guess what? Apparently nobody knows that I paint. I talked about one of my paintings around RUFers once and they all said "you paint?!"
It was disturbing! Maybe someday I'll get around to tossing my paintings in a gallery...then I'll make you guys come and see them all. I have this great Art Prof who is nagging me to go for it. She thinks I can get into a gallery...no problem.
It's not that I'm nervous about showing my art or anything. I love getting feedback on my art. It doesn't hurt my creative process at all. In fact, I think it enhances it.
And I think I could deal with getting some money in my checking account. *finally!* But I pour so much into my art that I feel like showing it to others is so personal! I'd almost rather flash them...I know that sound so wrong. My paintings are like pictures of my soul.
