Apr. 3, 2007 - Not sure if I should be scared or encouraged...
Kristina and I went to a workshop last week called "The Art of Business and the Business of Art". It was a very interesting and informative workshop which was to help in preparing to start your own art-related business.
We were asked to do the following exercise early in the morning: draw a portrait of yourself now and then another self-portrait of what you would like to see in 5 years time. The exercise was about goal setting and realizing your dreams. I had just recently started working on a drawing at home of an old sad looking tree reaching to the sky that I kind of see as a self portrait, so I used that as the basis for my sketch:
So here is the scary part...
Later in the day, as part of the workshop, we went to a few different artist's studios and they shared their journey with us. At one of the places, the artist showed us a picture they did when they were seeing a therapist at a low point in their life. That particular portrait is now being used by a mental health association. Her picture looked much like my self portraits as she walked from a dead, dark landscape toward her thereapist in a green, bright land.
So I'm not sure at this point if this means I am healed or need therapy.
HHhhmmmmmmmmmm.......
