i don't make anything. or didn't. but i want that to change. i want to learn. to try. mostly i haven't tried because i haven't been brave enough to try things i'm not already good at. it has taken me 28 years to recognize this ridiculous fear of failure as ridiculous. i've not conquered it, but i'm trying.
so.... i painted. it was a perfect perfectionist's first project: decor for a child's room. that way when the pictures turn out to look like they were done by a child, it's ok! :)
anyway, they're hanging on the wall above Morgan's bed. and they're terrible. but i painted! :)

I think they're stunning!
oh and what about the poem below...you can't say that you don't create anything now can you?
I think thay are great. Maybe next time we see y'all we could try something together. My mother's artistic talent passed me by and landed in Alana's lap instead, so I think we could have great fun playing around together. Love, Amy
1. You create and grow beautiful babies.
2. You are a superb cook -- especially when you take yummy recipes and make them yummier and then share with me. :)
3. You can write poems that don't have to rhyme at the end or go to the tune of "Mary Had a Little Lamb."
4. You make cucumber sandwiches taste good.
i'm w/adam - your artwork is stunning. and i'm a little hurt that i didn't make your list of creative people...mostly b/c the truth hurts :(
I always find myself striving, and then failing, to be creative. So, somewhere along the way I stopped trying. But you are inspiring! I also thought it was very creative and quite hilarious when you said last night that a certain poem sounded like a cross between "Twas the Night Before Christmas" and "A Boy Named Sue."
Ditto again and again, most particularly dru's #3. One of my favorite things you can do.
you are really good at making me tell jokes.
there is no such thing as bad art anyway....
I disagree with Chad, some art is awful, but your pictures are far from it! You are bright and motivated (and now we know you can paint) so I think you could learn any craft or gain any skill you put your mind to.
