Straining against the Sands of Time

I just posted this illustration on the Illustration Friday's Week's Topic Board in hopes of catching the eye of the voters and being selected. No prize, just free advertising.

It was a quick drawing however why I did it was mainly I had just re-opened this blog, which I started because of IF ; so I also went back to IF''s site. Lo and behold the subject was DREAM.

I have always dreamed big, which still compels me to "believe" as my dreams have arrived with great depression this year. This year has had a journey so oddly difficult in uncanny ways all I have these days are dreams.
 
My life has been funny, weirdly challenging for me, and even though I feel I have not reached the measurable success I wanted back in Junior College, I am grateful for being alive, allowed to have all my faculties, well most of them, and able to create drawings from a blank piece of paper that I think of in my head. A LOT of people have great imaginations, ideas they see in their heads, but are clueless on how to get their minds to talk to their hands and direct their hands how to translate their ideas for others to go "ouuu" or "Wow..." when shown their concept. I can do that, tech others how it can be done, I like this part of my life and I am focusing on doing this more as retirement draws near.

Life is about dreaming, desire of fulling a dream or even better, inspiring many because they had a dream to share with the world. So I dream BIG. Doesn't hurt to dream and the cost of having dreams is dreaming more dreams as time allows. I hope I get my dream one day, before I am too old to really want it anymore, that's what I fear now, age was the fear I had in Jr. College. It saddens me, depresses me and is now effecting my motivational energies due to lack of dream fulfillment; I am constantly asking myself to what end will this all be if I pursue "this" or "that"? Stops me cold.  I have had so many stops along the way before arriving here I live in a home of Projects Without Ends; the pain and depression overwhelm me some days and I wait for it to go away. All I can do is wait. Been there so many times, I now know what to expect. So I wait.

So at ten minutes to another day, I will go off and think of what I need to attend to next, what I have forgotten, clean up a little, post a little more and then go off into my good night to dream a really BIG DREAM. My eyes tear up and the inclining of hope that tomorrow might just be THAT DAY....

Even after 21K views, no comment...

Screen capture of largest response to one of my blogs...
Hi.
So I am back at the computer - for awhile - and started to look at the beginnings of my blog here, The Art of JP, only to learn one of my blogs had over 21 thousand looks or reads.  (See screen capture above.)

WOW.

And not one comment. Ok. But I am suprised more at the number of visits than the lack of comments. But as I think, not one, in those 21 thousand plus readers, had a comment worth mentioning about the blog. Well, I hope I gave them something to think about.

I am still figuring out WHO Am I, as we all are in some level or another. Who I am today? A Mom, an Artist, a person of merit, kind, good to the soul, did I say good yet? LOL. Oh and doggie owner, never forget the doggies.

Here are the other portaits I did for San Diego CC 2019, all are for sale, just message me @ drawisaid on instagram. The email attached to this blog, well, I don't use that email adress anymore and might have a few difficulties gaining access to your thoughts if you message me there. And I am a bit of a T-Rex...little arms waving frantically in front of me wondering what to do with my hands! Find me if interested @jpdenyer on Instagram too!
