I had an interesting experience today. Every Sunday I go to the local Cafe to work on my art and relax. Usually I get a lot of interesting looks from the other patrons. Some are friendly and some are not. Well today, an older couple sat in the booth next to me. The lady immediately asked me what I was doing. I was working on art collages at the time. She asked if it was for school and I told her that it was for personal reasons. She went on to eat her meal with her husband. After they were finished and ready to leave, they both came over and started looking at my collages and asking questions. I was able to explain the themes of different ones and they pointed out different things they noticed. She patted me on the shoulder and said I was doing good.
How refreshing to be accepted exactly as I am without judgement. Especially when dealing with my personal art. I tend to think that people wouldn't understand my art so I keep a lot of it private now I'm beginning to see that even the personal art I create has the ability to reach out to others. I'm not alone in the experiences that I have gone through.
