Facebook reminded me today of this memory from five years ago. When I came 'out of retirement' to begin making money as an artist.
It took a bit of an attitude adjustment to be able to call myself 'an artist'. I always felt like a bit of an imposter or something. Not a 'real' artist.
I started joining fb artist groups and following other artists, including a local super-talent Erin F, pencil artist, who creates under the name "Velvet Lead Designs"
Oh, I admit to creeping on her profile and being a wee bit envious of both her beauty AND her talent. And though some of her subject matter is perhaps a bit dark and/or provocative for my decor style, it has an innate ability to evoke emotion. And I admire that. I dreamed of maybe one day having a piece of Erin's art in my possession.
What I NEVER dreamed was that within five short (long??) years, I would be a step mother.
And not only a step mother, but a step-mother-in-law.
Yes, I am a step-mother-in-law.
To the one and only Erin F.
And a piece of her art hangs above my bed in my brand new house.
Who'da thunk it!
