Things that make you feel LEGIT

The photo above is of my friend and her sweet new baby girl.  The painting hanging on the wall was painted by me.  This photo seriously makes me feel legit.  

I remember always being completely amazed at artwork as a small child. To see another human being being in any way moved by something I created is intensely inspiring.

It makes me want to make so much art I might explode.  

You know what else makes me feel legit?  People that want me to paint them something.  I have two commissions right now and that really feels good.  It's been a while.

All of this stuff together as well as having a relaxed and positive day job make me very hopeful for the future.

Who knows?  This art thing might work out afterall.  

Art Tuesday

The Marshall Space Flight Center Art Collection has a really great exhibit up on the net. It's a really cool interactive site that lets you enter the museum & click on a painting or work of art to get a close-up view & information on the piece. The really sad thing is how many of these beautiful concept pieces have "artist unknown" listed as the artist. These are images that are burned into all of our imaginations, yet they can't attribute many of them to anyone. That's sad. Still, head on over & check out the cool works of art depicting rockets, ships, shuttles, space stations, astronauts & other cool aspects of Space Exploration.
