Perfume Bottle drawing by Amy Guidry; SOLD; Done when I was 16 years old<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I recently posted a few photos of work I did as a kid up through high school.\u00a0 Funny, it never occurred to me that someone would be interested in adding one to their art collection…I guess because even though they are art, somehow I only considered work done during my “professional” years to be of interest.\u00a0 That is until someone expressed interest.\u00a0 I was also surprised by the enthusiasm people had over these once I posted them to my Facebook “Fan Page.”<\/a> Even though they were all pieces I did on my own time, they were still part of my “sketchbook” assignments (even though they were not just simple sketches)\u00a0 which I had to turn in weekly to show that I was working on my art.\u00a0 This was standard for those in the Talented Art Program.\u00a0 Every week I would show what I worked on, usually adding more to the same drawing, and wait for approval.\u00a0 In some ways, it’s not all that different from how things are today.\u00a0 So I think this serves as a great reminder that we shouldn’t be so critical of our own work- on the whole, if it’s good, it’s good, no matter how old it is, no matter the imperfections that we think we see, no matter how many times we had to start over.\u00a0 No one else sees that, they just see a great work of art.<\/p>\n
