I still have trouble saying it out loud - 'artist' - I can get very tongue tied and do stumble over that word - it certainly is a bit easier to write. I had to fill out some forms today and on of the questions asked if I worked and what occupation....I sat and thought for a minute (yes a whole minute!) and then wrote 'yes' and 'artist'. Felt quite liberating You are an artist and a designer Sheila - and probably a whole lot of other things that I don't know about. Why is it that we can't acknowledge what we love to do and do well. If I ever know the answer I will share it!

But YaY for you Janet, Stand up and OWN it!! <br />I think this is perfect as its. YOu might lose some of the pattern pieces if you add more.

They really make excellent marks. They really manage to show themselves in the final image.

I do have a studio, it is above the garage - the 'bonus room'.....after living here for 17 years I am finally calling it my 'studio'. By claiming the space as 'studio' it has changed my family's perception of what I do as well as friend's and acquaintances and in some ways my own. If I won a lottery I would have a studio separate from the house. I tend to get caught up in the day to day chores and now that my husband is semi-retired (and a bit bored) he visits daily asking what am I doing? I've had some fun responding to that!! I have finally become comfortable when asked what I do - and am proudly owning the title of 'artist'. Thanks for asking Dotty and extra, extra big thanks for all your support!Janet Bradishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12191437039583701400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-374850929419683725.post-63083047869213330542018-02-12T04:46:19.373-07:002018-02-12T04:46:19.373-07:00"Oh my darling, oh my darling, oh my darling,..."Oh my darling, oh my darling, oh my darling, Clementine!"<br /><br />Janet, LOVE getting to hang out in your studio with you, watching you scratch out a sketch, add collage, wash with transparency, build layers, contrast, and life into a piece of paper. The best!<br /><br />The lift of that chin, the direct unwavering gaze of those eyes.<br /><br />Do you work from your home? a studio space elsewhere?dotty seiter: now playinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05996945853595200200noreply@blogger.com
