Today is heavy with meditation, gratitude and art. Works in progress, i'm moving between them in ten minute spurts of glorious distractibility. Still, i am grateful beyond measure that i have learned to hold the pain, poverty, disability and solitude tenderly and with such joy. #digitalpainting

Image description: There are four work in progress paintings, being created through digital art, on this compilation piece.  The first, going left to right, is the view of a being dancing, the colors of fire and water, focusing on calming and restoring the back.  Both hands are up in the air, the face is in profile and this is gratitude and hope.  The second, art holds the artist tenderly in their arms.  The artist looks like the colors of earth, the art the sky.  To me, the expression is so tender and kind.  Next, a being holding their head in their hands, the colors of the earth again and i am just starting on texture.  Until this moment, i didn't realize, but as we move from left to right, the works grow less finished.  The one that is still an underpainting is of a blue deity with four arms, looking at the viewer with delight, two hands framing the face, with wings of rainbow and hair that looks like fire.

As the Gen X bisexual, the terfs i know all bullied me first for being childless, alone and reading as a lesbian long before i admitted to being bi even to myself. There is not ever going to be enough conformity to their standards unless you become them.

The body has had complaints but the creating has been epic. Three pieces that i've been working on this week. #digitalart#digitalpainting#gratitude#flow#goddess#dancing

Three pieces that i've been working on this week, from left to right:
first: a being of light greenish-blues, wearing pink against a pink background - these are not colors i usually prefer, they usually are the hues of transition, but this week they have been strong in the rotation. The face is one of the kindest that i have ever rendered.  They are holding their right side sympathetically, right where the pain gets debilitating when i cough.  How odd.
The next being, in shades of brown and shadows of purple, tilts their head onto their hand, staring at the viewer, listening, and this face makes me giddy with delight.  Blue eyes are the main deviation from the subtle pallet. This last, the most unfinished of the three, is a woman with voluptuous curves dancing, hands over her head, in a more chunky style than usual, but that might not stay. by ashafenn

i was going to tell you about being told similar things by people over the years, and how it failed to dent my self esteem in the long term, but could not get over my outrage that people are such assholes.
