Of course you are allowed, should the conversation continue, to also indicate that you are still taking classes, but first and foremost, it's time to be an artist and not a student.<br />If it works, and those wonderful new vistas open up for you, don't thank me, just send me one of your art pieces - I love work from real artists!<br />Bobartquest1https://www.blogger.com/profile/12041335296170184698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28326125.post-7709260214546150252009-08-02T01:27:38.782-07:002009-08-02T01:27:38.782-07:00too true... I say I'm a student if I'm ask...too true... I say I'm a student if I'm asked. Also, I suppose because I'm still studying maybe feel like I'm not yet qualified to say I'm an artist! Years ago I had a boyfriend who, in the middle of his BA, started telling people he was an artist if they asked. He was...and still is. I never had the confidence to say I was too.<br /><br />It's taken me a long time to start to feel worthy of calling myself an artist.<br /><br />But think once you do.. it's a massive confidence boost.. it's 'coming out' to ourselves as much as the outside world.Lisa Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06666980486395619900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28326125.post-65870813807498676642009-07-21T16:19:09.580-07:002009-07-21T16:19:09.580-07:00Hi Gypsy and Sarah,
There certainly in a poignancy...Hi Gypsy and Sarah,<br />There certainly in a poignancy attached to our fear in proclaiming certain truths - especially a truth so deeply rooted. I;m not sure just what it is, but it seems so difficult to let others know that we long to create and exalt.<br />Sarah, I love your "safely tucked etc" line. Perhaps you are a writer, ready to leap forth? Just asking.<br />Bobartquest1https://www.blogger.com/profile/12041335296170184698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28326125.post-73345758331663370192009-07-21T12:49:57.517-07:002009-07-21T12:49:57.517-07:00Excellent. I have certainly not mentioned bloggin...Excellent. I have certainly not mentioned blogging to anyone...well, I did mention blogging a few times but only in the company of very self-absorbed people, those I can trust to not be listening to a thing I say because they are safely tucked inside their craniums, rehearsing their next verbal salvo of wisdom!Space Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02999151060350221353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28326125.post-25066182403080776702009-07-20T06:45:22.239-07:002009-07-20T06:45:22.239-07:00LOVE this post! it rings of TRUTH in and out! gr...LOVE this post! it rings of TRUTH in and out! great!GYPSYWOMANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03042621041213415958noreply@blogger.com
