Choosing Courage: Day 6 Letting you in on a Secret

Happy Saturday everyone. So today I am letting you in on a little secret about me. (as if you didn’t already know that by the title ). So about my secret. As a young girl I had a desire to learn something. I didn’t have the resources to learn this task and for whatever reason our art classes In school didn’t really teach painting. We used things like clay and colored pencil and paper mâché but no paint (except for on the paper mâché).

So did you guess it?

The image kind of gave it away. And so did my talking about painting. A few years ago I told my hubby about my dream and asked if we could get some paint. I have always been a crafter but I never really thought of myself as an artist and truth be told I still don’t.

I have been sharing some of my art on instagram for a while (that started with #inktober.). and sometimes I share on facebook. But when I did I also shared where I needed to grow. And someone jumped down my throat for it being just fine.

The problem isI don’t write to get attention or praise I explain this in my post here about why I use social media and one of the reasons is for my own personal growth. Utilizing facebook memories serves as my reminder of where I was and how much I’ve grown from that point.

Past promises are now fulfilled

I have been promising to post artwork here for sometime, but after some of those moments I just kept putting it all off. Well todays the day. As I was thinking about the the choosing courage writing project I asked myself what was I holding back in and the art posts came to mind.

So here are a few of my better art projects. Some watercolor, some acrylic and one alcohol marker test page. I by no means am a professional. And there are MANY areas of improvement. I don’t paint or art for anyone else but that 6 year old little girl who watched Bob Ross before Bob Ross was cool.
