Alison isn’t faceless
Here is one of the paintings I was having a hard time with. This is a little history about the women that inspired this painting. I have been walking with Alison and it has definately helped me to push myself. She is young, has done Iron man, raised money for charity, and is working on her PHD. Yet she still takes the time to walk with me. I understand her because I have been a runner until my knees would no longer let me. We walk and talk about all kinds of women issues from self sabotage, eating disorders and mostly why women don’t take care of themselves. It seems like we talk for miles but it’s only 4, and it takes us a lot longer then it should but what I have learned is so important and it’s making me be a better person. I feel honored to know her. I believe she will do great things in her life. Even though i think of her as a friend I wonder if her gentle words are coaching me in her own Phd quest. I really never believed I was a painter, I never thought that I had what it takes. I still feel a little overwhelmed and maybe a little sad that I don’t have what it takes to be a “Fine Artist” but I actually have been calling myself a painter, I think that’s a good sign. I have been lucky enough to have 5 months off from work. I have been trying to paint every day. Billie Joe (Artist) told me to assign myself a project,and that tip works. I fine that so satisfying.
This is Alison, she is faceless for the moment but she will change I’m sure.
