What a Glamorous Life

An attempt to paint strawberries and lilacs

Dear Imaginary Friend,

Being an artist is not glamorous. It means smelling of paints, squinting at an art setup, and fighting fatigue.

It's like going to battle with failure: Who will win today, my talent or my incompetence? It remains to be seen. This painting was started today at 3pm, but needs quite a bit more time to pull it together. The battle has been neither won nor lost, thus far.

Stay tuned.

Your Imaginary Artist Friend,

Dear Art Friends,

Here I am with the very talented and pretty Teresa Oaxaca, painting up a storm, while posing in front of two of Teresa's paintings. The painting on the floor is done by another person in the class; it is not ours.

Teresa dresses very creatively. She has style going on. I like the fact that she has created her own look. When artists wear berets, it really bugs me. They need to come up with something a little more today!

And how am I coming up with a new look? Errr...... Long hair?? Blue rubber gloves??
Love,

Your Imaginary Artist Friend with the blue gloves,

Teresa Oaxaca

Dear Imaginary Friends,
Here is a photo of a painting compadre at the Art League named Teresa Oaxaca. She is amazingly talented, and painted the two copies of famous artists that you see behind her. Talent: it is an amazing gift. It falls into the laps of the fortunate.
Teresa, you can paint anything. And you are so young.
Your fan,
Patsie
