A New Path.
So earlier this evening, I was having a conversation with a friend of mine who let me know they’re really touched by my art. I’ve gotten this comment several times before but I still am flattered everytime it happens. She then proceeded to tell me she’s really adamant on me painting one for her and buying it, because she’s so in love with my work so far. I’ve always been scared to take that step, but tonight I said yes. My boyfriend really helped me take up the offer. I asked him and he said, “why NOT do it?” He’s always short and blunt about everything when needed. There’s no lollygagging or teeter-tottering around the subject and I love it.
I’ve always been very in touch with all my art and never thought of the idea of actually giving a piece away. It’s almost scary to me. They become like my children almost. I wish there was some simple way of making “copies.” Then I’d be all set with no worries. But life can’t be THAT easy right? No.
It’s a funny feeling knowing I can do something I love and get paid for it. I guess that’s what life is all about right? I just didn’t know it actually happens like that. We will see how this pans out. I am planning on looking up quotes that I think suit her tomorrow and maybe starting the piece tomorrow.
I always tend to get ahead of myself and look into the future. If I keep this up, what if I start making a decent profit of this? It would be bonkers. I would love the chance to do it. We shall see what progresses. I’m beyond excited. I’m glad I said yes.
