Recently I sat for a painting after being asked by a friend if she could paint me, she is gay,

“you just wish to see me with my top off!?!” was my initial response.
“well…” slyly smirks
I said, “OK then” (after a little thought)

The painting of my nude top half didn’t look like me when finished, abstract art, but I knew it was me, she who painted me knew it was me and that thought was rather pervy and got me into painting. For some reason I love to paint. OK admittedly I’m not great, maybe in time that will change, but I seem to enjoy portraits at the moment. Finding out I have a different creative side is intresting, unfortunately when I show my art to indiviaulds there a long silence followed by an expression of ‘I don’t like this’ ‘this is art’ ‘what is it’ … etc etc strangely when this happens it doesn’t knock my confidence because I like painting too much…
*maybe I should post a picture of my art work I mean as I was told recently theres someone out there who will buy any old rubbish’ .. ouch
