Good Morning
Wow that was interesting, I enabled translations on the settings page and it turned all I wrote into Hindi - which would be fine if I could read it to proofread my sentences. To me it looks like beautiful scribbles - which is what english must look like to someone who is Hindi that enabled the English translator. Ahh well - made the morning interesting for certain - and it's not nearly time to get up yet *grins*.
Yesterday was my 13th wedding anniversary - as usual we didn't prepare and it snuck up on us. Not sure why, but it always does - maby it's the nature of how we got married. We got engaged in April, and set the date for August 24th - the day came and went, as did 8 others, and finally on December 1 I looked at my beloved and said "Are you going to marry me or not?" So we went right then down to the Justice of the Peace, got married and walked out with a nice little care package that couldn't even pretend to prepare a person for what marriage really is - but I was able to do a few loads of laundry with the handy laundry soap that was in it. Then we picked up a computer that we had gotten fixed and went home. A year later we had a beautiful reception at a Dinner Theater playing the comedy "A Winter Rose" which was fitting in my mind since my dress had a red boddice and a white multi layered whispy skirt. To me on that night I was the winter rose, even on that incredibly trecherous ice we had to walk on to get to the theater.
From there to hear has been an interesting ride. I didn't start drawing until we'd been married 3 years - now 10 years later I'm still drawing, and enjoying it now. I'm busy, busier than I ever have been with my artwork - but I'm drawing consistantly and loving it. There is so much in my life I am thankful for - and a big one is to the artists around me in various fields for doing what they do. My influences had alot to do with who I am now, the choices I've made to become who I am. People like Whoopee Goldburg, Robin Williams, The book Enders Game, The author Piers Anthony -and his numerous works (I still want a shoe tree for my garden!!) Every jeweler that ever made anything sparkly (I'm part Racoon with an intense love of shiney things - not jewelry - shiney things - you know - giltter, crystals, water in a clear glass and of course the main ingredient - wonderful sunshine) There are many influences - Authors, artists, actors, music - oooh music. I can't help but move when music plays - especially if it has a nice beat. I don't like violence in anything I watch - save for vampire movies. I also don't like it in the music I hear = all this hate rap, and kill em dead rap - can't stand it. Just makes me sick that the music influences you to pick up a tire iron and wack someone just because your pissed off. Our prisons are too full of tire iron sluggers - we don't need to make our children follow their footsteps. I prefer Enya, Loreena McKennit, Journey, Eagles, Madonna, Meatloaf and a ton more - of which escape me in my sleepy stated mind at the moment.
Eclectic, deffinatly tags me as a 30 something white chic - but I don't care. I am who I am, and I create as I create. I also appreciate art - all kinds, all different walks of life. The thing that gives me the most pleasure though, is I encourage art of all kinds - regardless of race, religion, creed, or what have you. If you like to create - do it. You don't have to bare your soul in every picture - just make something from your heart!!
