Dream #4

[Goddessartist]

Happy Tuesday everyone! I've been away getting the lighting redone in the main house and now we can see our artwork! And I can see in the studio most excellently - first time in years! Anyway, here's an acrylic 10" x 10" block canvas painting I made in San Francisco. I call her Dream #4. Z fell in love with her when he met me, so I gave her to him.

My daughter Tessa's little black cat scratch art is in the right corner.

1. My daughter is an artist, too.

She's been doing art since middle school - and we're currently enrolled in the same school. (She's pursuing a BA in studio art; I'm pursuing a BFA in photography). She's struggled a lot with her health, which has limited her life since she she was around 18. So at 33 she's still 22 hours or so from earning her bachelor's degree. I have so many areas in my wheelhouse that I get recognition for that I was a bit worried about jumping into the one area where she excels. So I asked her permission before I enrolled in the first class. She didn't have a problem - and rather than seeing me as competition, she seems to enjoy the role of mentoring me. So it's a win-win!

2. A win-win for sure!

I'm sorry about your daughter's health problems - art always helps when I can't physically do much of anything.

She's almost to her BA!!! I'm so glad that you're doing art basically with your daughter - it's the best! I have 2 daughters - both are talented but don't do much art - my eldest expressed the desire to draw again - she'll do it sometime. I'll give her one of my sketch pads and a set of drawing pens.

I've never looked at art as competition, just different flavors, if you know what I mean!
