So the hotel thing fell through. Thats fine for me, i am not a painter anymore, and I really would have been pretending. I am also not truly willing to jeopardize my aesthetic for money. They did not select me bc my work was "too pink". These people are obviously just business minded, bc i already expressed to them i could change the color the suit the room. But they glanced, realized it didnt match the room, and that was that. Ive been faking the whole time anyways, i dont want to match their tacky carpet. Nor do i really want to paint birds ever again. I truly gave this my all on several occasions. But the whole time i had a tugging feeling inside me, bc this is just not who i am anymore. I feel like the whole situation was corrupt from the beginning, with a lot of mild deception and misleading assumptions.
I already have so much on my plate right now. The Thread show on Jul 7th, and im submitting work to 2 galleries, and i have class, and work. I've been taking on so much; I am tired and I know there will be more fitting experiences to come!
