{i am a painter}

 New Forest Works

Last night I had a dream.  I was talking to a stranger, who asked me what I did for a living.  I said...

I'm a painter.

I woke up this morning and knew that it was true.

  1. I love the sentiment, but would beg to differ – you are an ARTIST! It’s just semantics, but painter implies to me someone who just paints, you put your heart and soul into works of art = ARTIST. Ok – don’t forget it!!!!!

  2. I hope my comment above don’t come off as rude or bossy. I know you were being positive, but I don’t want to see you underselling yourself, not even a tiny little bit.

  7. That dream was clearly your subconscious saying "get with the program, Tinniegirl"! The rest of us, of course, already knew it to be true.

    PS. I love this new work!

  8. Good for you! It's a hard one isn't it. I always struggle with referring to myself as an artist...I prefer to say I'm an illustrator, it sounds less...I don't know, showey or something. I think you're an artist who paints :) Thanks for your nice comment on my creative space too!!

  15. I think we all need to tell ourselves that we are what we create from time to time and believe it.
