Real Talent
I will start off saying, I'm not fishing for compliments. I realize that I have some artistic skills. In high school I was my art teacher's favorite student. I was too self conscience to take classes in college or any other art school. This I've always regretted. Now I desperately try to fill my need to create art. The problem is the art I do create is always a knock-off of something else I've seen. Anytime I come up an idea of my own, it never turns out the way it looks in my head. I have very high expectations of myself. Anyway, I'm happy to make things or copy things for my friends. It feels my need to create. But I'm still sad that I don't have the ability to create original art. My friend Angela led me to a website www.etsy.com and there are some truly talented artists selling original artwork. You should check it out.

Ok so i read your post today - then Avery just told me that he had art today & that he's not very artistic. So I told him about how I'm not either (unless drawing multiple versions of Gumby count) & so it's probably my fault. He said "that's okay I'm good at reading & math like you." You should definitely keep doing stuff, you have the talent for sure & if it makes you happy then that's double awesome girl!
