The ballerina that took a year to paint - nice isn't it?

Sample of what I kept painting instead of the ballerina..

So my spouse  says "hey you should do an ABOUT ME page."

My usual response to almost everything that he suggests is "hey you should mind your own business"  sometimes I change it up with "you are not the boss of me."

It is NOT that I am not terribly interesting - I am so FANTASTIC  that  you would get jealous. 

And obviously ego is not a problem either.  It is just that I am a practical person.  I am not necessarily old....well compared to a  9 year old  well then I am ancient.... or old - fashioned.  I am very familiar with the internet and email and blogs etc. It is just that I don't understand this internet facebook/myspace/youtube generation that thinks the entire world is interested in very single boring aspect of one's life.

Does anyone really care what cereal I had for breakfast? Or that I have triplets plus an really terrifice older boy.   YES I said TRIPLETS - this can explain the general crabbiness. Or that I have been brilliant artist since I was five.  - Seriously I volunteer at local schools and those 5 years olds got nothing on me when I was five . 

Or do I approach this ABOUT ME page with list of likes and dislikes a la Hugh Hefner.

My likes are long walks on the beach?? ( not really - I don't like long walks - anywhere- anytime)

Or do I use this as my GRIPE page -  i.e. I dislike having my shows interrupted by "SPECIAL REPORTS" - usually it is not that special - and if it is CNN and Fox already are covering it and that is what a Crawler is for.

My spouses says - "people want to know the artist and know the connection between the art and artist"  

Really?? Do you want to know that I have no control what comes out the paint brush on my original artwork - I just sit and something comes out  - I don't  get to decide - take my Ballerina series - tried for over a year to paint a pink ballerina -  Every time I sat down to paint a ballerina ANOTHER Dino would come out.  Or  sometimes nothing comes to me  and I stop painting for months - I think my longest block with 6 months.  And than all of sudden 20 painting get done in a week. I don't sweat it anymore - if it happens, it happens.

Do people want to know that I was raised in the South - so that at first mention of snow - I run to the grocery store and stock up on milk and bread even though we have not seen any real snow fall in over 10 years?  Or that I have over 500 pieces of original children’s artwork??  Or that I am a horrible speller - I would think you would have guessed that by now ...unless you are a horrible speller also.

I just don't agree with his theory on "art and artist connection" - so my response is "YOUR HAIRLINE IS RECEDING."  

That puts an end to any conversation- ALWAYS.   Seriously you should try it sometime.  And if you really want to know what I had for breakfast  - just email me! I love to email!
