self portrait....

 I tell ya..my muse visits at the weirdest times! I was sitting waiting to pick up #3 from school.. was going through the mail..what's this?.. just received my 3rd rejection from Somerset... and Blam!

    I haven't heard from that sassy Muse of mine in Months!! I tell ya.. I think he went on vacation over the Holidays and forgot to tell me..Not one dream..or thought or idea lately...

okay, back to my story.. I get this rejection letter.. I just can't help it.. I have to start drawing! So I pick up the closest piece of paper and just start .. Heee's baaack... lol.. whispering in my ear.." You know.. just because some folks tell ya no... doesn't mean that I have to be quiet!.."

I just keep drawing.."Nope..not gonna do it.." I hear him say.. " Not gonna be silent.. I will sing at the top of my lungs darlin'.. no matter how hard you try and shush me.. I know there  is a part of you that wants to play with me.. come on.. we can dance all the day long!!..." he teases me... "Quiet.. I'm trying to be focus.. I don't have time for this..you haven't shown up in Months and I'm supposed to listen to you?!!" I tell him... "Hehehehehhe..." He just laughs!

So..That is what I get.. {my self portrait on the envelope..} .. I wonder if I can parler à ma muse

 

 

Can I put this on canvas...

.. My hair is short..because I don't have the courage to cut it for real... and I've lost 10pounds..{hey, it's my self portrait..I can dream cant I?lol}

But It's me..

 

Ever talk to your Muse?... Ever make a self portrait?... As I get closer to the 4..0..{yup..I will be that this year..} I'm trying to set goals for myself.. One is tame my Muse! Ha! He's a sassy one.. but after I hang with him a bit.. I always feel better.. I soo want to spend more time with him.. but alas.. that one.. he visits when he wants.

Or maybe.. is he always here and I'm just not paying attention?..

Hey, didn't I leave a comment here last week? I was sure I did, and that I went on and on....I loved how you turned your reject letter into art.

Ummm. Do you want to make me a little pity party badge? That is if your not busy or anything...and I think I might be linking to this post in March for the pity party...because I love how you handled this... and of course your conversation with the muse.
