::rueful chuckle:: Thank you, dear friend, for the sentiment.
Because my latest painting is going badly, I feel compelled to add that sometimes being an artist is so sucky I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. And my fuscia spandex days may be over. Once you're pregnant, your body produces a lot of extra skin to allow for the expansion of the tummy, and it never all-the-way goes away, unless you have a tummy tuck. In a moment of basest insecurity, I showed my front to my friend who is a surgical assistant to a plastic surgeon and she said, in her professional opinion, "Mm-hm, yeah, get over it!" ::sigh:: All very well and good, but I've still had to get rid of almost all my cute dance dresses 'cause they showcase my tummy-pooch too prominently! Interestingly enough, the only one that still looks great is a dress Brian bought for me ages ago. That man has a killer fashion sense. I'm lucky he's straight! *lol*
Again, none of this would be remotely weighing on me if the painting were actually coming along the way I want it to. Please feel free to make fun of me for this. ;-)
