[@HokieSnare]

I just wanted to say that I'm happy you signed the painting. Signing your work isn't about declaring you or your work important; it's a finishing touch to celebrate completing the piece. I'd also suggest adding a date, even if it's just the year. That way you can better track your journey!

[@elyse_myers]

In my previous life, I wouldn’t have thought twice about signing it. But right now I’m struggling with my self-confidence and signing it even though I was scared to felt like a big personal win for me! 🥹♥️

Wondering what version of myself someone is looking for when they asked me to come be myself is the realest thing & I felt so seen by this.

[@elyse_myers]

I think there will always be a version of me in other people’s head that doesn’t actually exist and I had to accept that pretty early on in my career online. But it’s particularly terrifying when I’ve been hired to be myself in front of a large group of people because being able to see people’s faces and look in their eyes while they evaluate the physical you vs. the idea of you they built in your head is really intimidating!

I grew up in Lincoln, NE and lived there off and on until I was in my mid 30s. The tornado siren test every Wednesday at 11:00 was something I pretty much took for granted.

I also miss big skies, summer thunderstorms and fireflies.

fun painting fact: if you ever need to make a color dull (take the neon or brightness out of it) add a couple drops of the contrasting color. So, for orange, you would add in a bit of blue. Just make sure the shades are the same! (i.e. tangerine's opposite is sky blue).
