RE: "Therapy Librarian" escapes the cold.
Oh, I get a rush of medulla juice when I see someone react to my painting. I don’t know why, but it is definitely born of some childhood arrested development. Will the adults like my crayon drawing of a boat?
“Nice boat Ronnie, but why can’t you wanna be a doctor?”
The second I saw your photo with my painting in it, I had to walk away from the computer to process.
I think it’s because of the monetary transaction and the concept of debt—Can (should) anything I make or do be worth a centime to another?
Of course! But the child in me flees and fights with the nagging conscience repeating, “It’s never good enough!”
Coming back to the screen a grown up with decades of training in how to handle praise and positivity, the adrenaline settles to shocked, to flabbergasted, to proud, to happy, and finally, to connected. I lost a pound and my heart raced, but worth it to see so much meat in your post. We have made the connection, and now you and Jason are stuck with a neurotic part of me for as long as the two of you can stand it:)
I don’t know how to thank you! What a high!
And I can’t believe the glass didn’t break!
Here is a video of what I bet you were feeling. Some paintings arrive from Russia!
YES... so exciting to receive your art. We still haven´t hung it up in its proper place yet. He makes us smile every time we look at him! Thank you! By the way.... there is a small crack in one corner of the glass but it hardly shows. You were quite risky sending it framed!
When it’s time for me to buy one of your paintings, just add a few euros to asking price:)
No way! ahaahha! It´s part of the Librarians adventure to get here! Its so small its even good!
