A beautiful and moving piece, Cyrene. It's hard clinging to the reaction of others when we show them our art. It's hard because, at any given moment, we might feel like giving up and throwing it away when they showed no signs of appreciation like what we want. Making art shouldn't be for others but for ourselves. The process should be valued more than the end.
I love how proud your parents are. Remember that you should keep on producing art, Cyrene!
That's so true, sometimes you really need that outside validation, as uncomfortable as it is to admit. But it's so fulfilling when the process and your own enjoyment means more to you than anything else.
Earlier this week I went into The Works and bought myself some watercolours. I used to love using watercolour paints at school and I haven't used them since. The penny has just dropped that I think you've subconsciously influenced me with your previous writing about your artwork and creativity!
I'm looking forward to 'playing' and not being attached to the outcome. (LOL well that's my aim)
This is such a poignant piece as ever, Cyrene. What a gift your parents have nurtured in you. And I love that you were so in touch with your inner compass and injustice when you were younger. I don't think I would have dared 'stand up' to grown ups at the age!
Thank you so much, Janelle! I’m over the moon to have had such a positive influence🥹. I’m so excited for you to be playing & creating with watercolours again!
Haha I am still so proud of teenage me for that😂 I’m always really grateful to hear your thoughts, thank you for taking the time to share them 💕
