In my case, every grade school teacher penned a note to my report cards that read, "She daydreams." True then, true now. And I still love the poetry, stories, and art that transport me away to myself and to those daydreams.

My mother was always encouraging, but I had teachers who were more interested in my academics--I was good at math & science, so I was encouraged to be an engineer. After all, "you can't make no money as an artist". I think (now) that's a double-negative misconception that keeps us from focusing on how to prosper as artists. Good thing the muse is more persistent!...JuarezAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3125293811627575485.post-42784234434941494622010-06-14T19:45:57.940-07:002010-06-14T19:45:57.940-07:00Joyce,

I too was always a bit too quiet, and dreamy and my family said I was strange until I won a drawing contest in 6th grade sponsored by the Bozo show. My drawing was in the newspaper and even shown on the Bozo show. The art supplies soon arrived in the mail, and I started oil painting and here I am today still a bit strange and still an artist. Thank you so much for your story and photos.Jeanine Hill-Soldnerhttp://www.soldnerfineart.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3125293811627575485.post-26231908540472003872010-06-14T18:23:54.735-07:002010-06-14T18:23:54.735-07:00It's a blessing when a child can grow up in a ...It's a blessing when a child can grow up in a family that appreciates and encourages creativity!!
