Artist's Comments

This painting has a long story. I was fourteen years old when I did it. Before this work, the only thing my teacher let me paint were apples, landscapes, vases, etc. Suddenly I got to the class and asked my teacher her opinion about this idea I got in my mind. She told me it was ok if I wanted to try this kind of ¨concept¨.

Of course, I was lying. This paint is based in someone else´s work. I will send an Argentinian candy to all the ones who guess where did I get this ¨idea¨ from.
It took me more than four months to end it. Eventually, I was able to exhibit it in a bar located in the downtown. Someone called the owner of the bar and said he wanted to buy the paint. They told me about this.
I couldn´t. I just couldn´t sell it. It took me so much time, so much effort. What a silly, stupid little girl.
Six months after that, my teacher died. Beatriz was gone and I couldn´t draw for almost two years. A couple of weeks before her death, I got my violin. You may think I was replacing painting for playing an instrument. I did think that. I was fooling myself, pretending the violin was taking all the time I used to spend painting or drawing. Sometimes we humans, are able to believe our own lies.

Till the librarian of the Conservatory told me he was planning an exhibition.

Such sweet words!! I'm gonna cry. :) :smooch:

It took me many months.

*Yesterday I was thinking about doing some colour pics again. You know I'm thinking of learning how to use Photoshop. ^_^U But It's been so long since the last time I coloured something, I think first of all I'm gonna have some practise with watercolours.*


Thank you again for your comment. What you're saying is really important for me. ^_^

Deception is a Right. Truth is a Privilege. Innocence is a Luxury.
