New Begining

[cheeky monkey]

Hi
Just wanted to say that i feel real proud of myself, after looking at the problems in my life I have decided to rebuild my business again, i dont like the job im in now as its causing so much agro. So im going to do what i do best and that is my artwork. So far we have put something up on a website and im going to start advertising. I have started drawing every day this in its self has lifted my mood so much, instead of going for the cider bottle i now pick up my pencils and start drawing, i draw anything but specialise in animal portraits, i was asked to send some of my pictures in to the site for all of you to see which i have just done, so i hope you like them.
I would like to ask you all for a favour im doing a portfolio of my work but because of copyright laws i cant show pics ive done from others photos, so i was wondering if anyone has pictures or pets or family that i could draw in return i would send you a copy of the finished picture. If anyone is intrested could you email or pm me and i will tell you what sort of pic i need, or if my artwork is put on the forum you will see for your selves.
I feel real positive that i can make a go of this, i did before, Lea has also been helping and supporting me in this and want to say a big thankyou to her xx
for the first time in ages i can start to look forward to the future, i had two letters published in magazines this month.
im going to work so hard to make this work, its the 25th anniversary of dads passing in august so its for him to.
thanks alot
take care

Hi guys
just to update you, things are moving fast with my art, my boss wants pics done for the arcades so im thinking about that. im nearly ready to start putting some work on ebay, and today we went up to our large market to buy mounts, i asked the guy if he sold original art work but he said no, but they are looking for someone to do pet portraits as there present artist is retireing, so he has asked me to bring him some of my work which i will do next saturday so hopefully that will be another opening. Hopefully it wont be to long before you all can see some of my pics as nic is going to try and put them on the site. Lea has been one huge support and help with this,thanks Lea x and isnt it time you got out your paint brushes? yes everyone Lea can paint as well. For the first time in ages im looking forward to the future and to prove my so called family and friends who have deserted me that i can make something of my life. I use to hide my artwork in the past and was to scared to show anyone or approach posible buyers but in the last few weeks ive had so much interest maybe now is the time to make my dream come true and become a professional artist. I'll let you know how I get on.
I would recommend to anyone who feels down to pick up a pencil or brush and just draw anything in your head. I havent cut or drank for a few weeks now cos if i feel low i just draw, i hope i can carry on doing this. cos its much better than taking any tabs to lift your mood.

take care
Susie

That's great news Susie. I am so pleased you have found the confidence to take up drawing and painting again.

Well done for channelling the urge to self-harm and drink into something positive like drawing instead.

Good luck with the business.
