So I will post things, at random. Could not decide what little everyday things I should show to display my "wanna be" status....so here goes nothing.

i know exactly how you feel on that...i always thought i was better than i was. i only recently discovered (or rather accepted) the fact that in high school i was only considered 'average' in my skills and nothing special. with of course, the exception of a few well done paintings...well, maybe just one.
but what i am trying to learn is that it doesn't really matter at the end of the day whether or not your art is great. if you enjoy doing it, that should be why you do it. you can't rely on the praise of others to determine what you do or don't do. and yeah. i still get upset with my family/friends if i don't get a "wow" response. and i HATE when they point out only the flaws.
just remember to keep doing what you enjoy...and try to do it for yourself. and praise yourself for doing it well. sometimes we just have to pat ourselves on the back because no one else will.
Thank you. I feel better now. I may not be the next Michaelangelo, but I'll keep doing art because I have fun with it.
i'm glad to hear that...it took me a long time to come to that realization myself, and i still struggle with it anytime i go near my supplies...but i have to force myself to try. and funny thing is, once i do, i'm really happy i did. i just rarely show anyone any more...and probably won't until i'm a little more comfortable with myself as 'the artist'. if you want to talk more about it, pm me sometime...

what medium are you using for these? i absolutely am in love....especially with the first one, but both are great....
i may just have to dig out my paintings and take some pics too...i kinda buried them deep in storage because nobody really cared for them...lol!
