Keep doing what feels best, is easier said than done, for me, especially in visual arts. Those water drawings feel great when i work on them, but don´t give me the release afterwords as the other works do. But those are harder to start with, because i have to dig deep inside myself. In a way all my works are selfies, one way or an other. Because I use them to express the feeling I hide inside, the water drawings included. I think all great art is made with deep emotions, that's why we can relate to it. It speaks to our own emotions. And yes, maybe I give myself not enough credit, but hey, self concision isn´t my strongest quality. But i´m working on it...
About the dancer, she wasn´t posted on this discussion, but elsewhere I believe it was in the `Why PJ's song Alive means that much to me`discussion. She´s still out there. But I´ll Post her here also. I´m not in any way offended by your critics, I like hearing what you and other people see in my work. It gives me the opportunity to see if what I ´m trying to tell with the work, is understood without me telling the whole story in words. I think Great art has to speak for its self, without much explanation by the artist afterwords. And the great thing about art is that anyone can see, hear or feel something different in a work. But as long as the work makes a connection with the feelings of the observer, the artist has done its job.That´s why it´s great to get feedback on my work, because it means I have touched someone else with it, one way or an other. By the way most off the comments are very sensitive, and polite, so why would I feel offended?
Great to hear that you manage to quit smoking cigs, I´m not able to, at least not at the moment, to the great grieve of my youngest son, who wishes me to quit. Cigs are also my only substance abuse, but for me its impossible to quit at the moment, To much stress by setting up my own business in a land that is in great economical crisis gives a lot of stress... :-S But it´s great that I can help you with it in a way. I saw your post in Rollings piece. Thanks for the wishes. I replied also on it with the best wishes for everyone.
I know words never tell the whole story, that´s why I started making visual art, However that doesn´t tell the whole story either....
By the way I don´t think feelings aren´t either male or female, they just are, and in one way or an other you have to deal with them. And I´m glad everyone is doing that so freely around here, I think PJ and especially Ed give great examples by doing this so publicly. For me it´s not showing their feminine side but showing their humanity. But hey, that´s just my opinion...
I hope we´ll talk agian soon, and for now here she is... THE DANCER

Yes, let;s hope it will work out the way I want it to....

Now this one is cool. Right away I think native Indian. I have native blood on my dads side. It has real depth. I really like the way you were able to pattern the blue over the white. Wonder how you did that. Don't tell of coarse. Hey an aside, When you posted those instructions about posting pics that wasn't private...if you don't already know it shows up on the activity board for a few days. I learned that the fun way. ">
Nice one Aafke :-*
I remember when, yeah. I swore I knew everything, oh yeah.
This is a lithographic print on quit heavy dipped paper, so the white shines trough the blue, cause of the structure of the paper. No, it's not a native american. It's my ex, the father of my kids back in his grunge days when we first met. I fell head over heals for him. I made this piece after I made a photo shoot of him on a blustery day, right before his nineteenth birthday. So yes, I cheat sometimes, this piece is almost eighteen years old. But it's still a strong one.... I studied his face while I took pics of hem all day. And this work came out of it.... Looking back on it, I think it shows the love I felt for him back then, and the strength I wished/believed he had.
The long hair was left at the barber, and he was quit a weak man, but he gave me two beautiful sons, and I'm very thankful for that.
I know that the message about the pics was no PM, but i don't have figured out yet how to make a PM. And this wasn't all that private anyway. But maybe you can help me, with the making of a PM. Cause I don't have a clue how to do that anymore... X_X
Talk to you soon... :-h

Its a tough world Aafke. And when we are young, that's when we are perfect and strong and nothing can bring us down. He looks noble and stoic and Id wager there were days of that nature. When you tell me he was weak I look at that in a context that is best summed up by some song lyrics, "The deflection of the eye, so misleading. the deflection of the soul noxiously quick". I don't know his story but I hope he will or does walk the earth with his head high and his mind on the two boys...and if not, perhaps someday soon. We are all redeemable, I have to believe that. A favorite movie of mine is Fight Club..."We were all raised to believe that we would all someday become movie stars and rock gods; but we won't and we are very, very pissed off".
Most of us, if not all of us think life owes us greatness...it don't. that illusion is captivating and alluring and we become disillusioned by it. Life owes us death, nothing more, nothing less.
So , a song dedication for the father of two beautiful sons...Garden...Your boy is very handsome.
Ps meet me on live chat now if you can. lets chitchat.
I remember when, yeah. I swore I knew everything, oh yeah.
Live chat would be nice, but I believe we have a bit of a time-difference problem. Cause my timezone is central European . time. So for me it was 3 am when you posted the request. And although I do stay up quit late, I have to sleep sometimes, especially when the kids are at home. So for that maybe we can look for a time witch is decent for the both of us. :-c

Sounds like a plan. Im Eastern standard time. Perhaps next weekend. my mourning your evening on a sunday or even tomorrow the 12th at 9 am est. Wow European, I was thinking American south but maybe all of your sophisticated art and explicit poems should have lead me to Europe. How many shows will you see on the tour this summer....we can talk about that on live chat. Looking forward to chatting with you Aafke. >-
I remember when, yeah. I swore I knew everything, oh yeah.
When I first met you I fell for you head over heels, The strength in your weakness To share your fragile side With the world With me… You saw me I couldn’t nor wouldn’t pretend The mask came off… You understood me… I understood you… At least I thought we did… It felt so safe and secure… For the first time I belonged We’ve been through so much Together… Us against the world…
But along the way… We lost each other The sharing stopped.. Each of us became the prisoner Off his own head The sorrow and pain All locked inside Pretended to be strong Pretended to be happy
Our strength became our weakness Security became scaring Trust became lies Safety became violence How could it go wrong like this?
Standing naked ... together
Made this one for my ex on his first birthday we were together..

Wow Aafke...Standing naked is sublime. Your depth of expression is truly representative of fine art. I am mesmerized.
I had a thought. PJ is having a contest. They are looking for original art with lightning as the central theme. If you have something that exists from your repertoire already, or if you can conjure a new creation before Jan 31, please enter. the contest rules are in the latest issue of Deep magazine. I for one would be so elated to see your work recognized under a greater light. Please....I'm trying to conjure a poem but no luck so far, but I haven't given up yet. If you don't have the mag I can get you the info.
In joyous part
I remember when, yeah. I swore I knew everything, oh yeah.
I don't know why, but I have to post this piece, right here, right now. ( Maybe it has something to do with the longing for peace in my life,)

Hectic and chaotic My thoughts wander Between extremes of Happiness and fear Feeling known Being seen Fear for commitment Fear of repeating Pain and grieve Scared of believing In love The love that is The love I feel Why can’t I believe In the possibility Of someone liking me? Even if I'm weak and fragile My tears keep on flowing They are warm Hectic and chaotic Returning, all the old pain Fear and Sadness While I should be happy Why do I don't trust my own feelings?

I do like it Aafke and thank you for the thought. I wonder about the lovely ladies thoughts? Is she thinking of the present, past or future. maybe it all dances in her mind in a collage of stills and keeps her from drifting to sleep. Again, she sees her relationship in blue, that must be significant. What does it mean? Such a deep blue. Does she wonder if this love is forlorn? Keeps her up at night....I guess this being a golden oldie those questions may be answered...if they are even pertinent. Very nice. Most people try to capture life's little moments with pictures. I like the way you have captured yours'...with consideration.
In joyous part
I remember when, yeah. I swore I knew everything, oh yeah.
When i made this one, I tried to make a painting of me and the lover I had at the time. Cuddling together, loving one another, but while I was working, the composition didn't work. The bodies wouldn't lay nicely down, strange postures kept occurring. The look in the eyes weren't happy. I tried for many hours to fix it, but It wouldn't work. Finally I got the solution, I had to cut his head off. That day became quit clear for me the relationship didn't work anymore, I had to paint it out to connect what I subconsciously already knew. So I broke the relationship up, the next day. A fine example of the way art therapy works. )
About the blue color, I like the color, but at the time I made this piece it didn't have an other meaning than that. I also challenged myself to just use one color and black and white, so the composition would be the key aspect of the piece instead of a verity of colors

Six years ago Next to your bed I sat Holding your hand Seeing your struggle For every gasp of breath You have seen them all this day The ones you loved You spoke them all Breathless as you were They all paid their last respects At this hour It was just you and me I can still feel your hand Holding mine, in a steady grip Out off conscious, at this time Your restless soul kept on fighting For your scattered life For each and every gasp of breath Powerless I felt Seeing you in so much pain and agony I told you it was okay It was time to let go And while I write this words Six years ago You took your final breath The fluids which filled your lungs Gulped out of your mouth This was it… The struggle of your life was ended With the final words “Now I really am going” In your own clear voice You let your life slip away…
You died years to early but you past away at the right moment. Thanks mom, I still love you...

I've been reading this thread, and it is INTENSE. I've been thinking deeply about your words and pictures. I've been thinking about your life, about my life - the similarities, the differences. It feels a bit like I've been on an emotional roller coaster. But the words that stuck out to me the most were not even actually in your poems about the past... the words that stuck out to me the most were these...
So you can't keep me to yourself, I'm not a prop but a living human being.
You wrote about being abused and taken advantage of, so I was glad to see the self respect, self confidence and self worth of these words, coming from your current self. Although expressed in friendly banter, these sound like the words of a woman who will not be taken advantage of again.
The shear will to walk the trepid path. Turning away from the shadows of the past toward a shrouded future under a canopy of societies vocal thorns. Turning one's back on the construct of our world to shield the innocent from murky minds. Protecting the innocents'. Holding on to what is treasured by the heart...One's mind.
Always a journey. Thanks for sharing Aafke.

Well, thank you for your kind words... I hope you're right about the part where you expect that I'm a woman who will not tolerate taken advantage of again. I'm not so sure my self confidence is strong enough, to prevent that from happening again. I strongly believe being hurt is part of being alive, if we don't know the downside of life we can't appreciate the upside. And on the upside, if I get hurt again, there will be lots of inspiration to write about or make visual art about to share around here, hi, hi...

Did I provoke you, or did you provoke me? Am I as cheap as i feel right now? Yes, I am… Is it the inheritance from our grandfather, aunts and moms?
I called out for your help…. Did you though it was an invitation for more? How is it possible That I allowed you to hurt me again?
Why do I still reach out for you? This relationship is unhealthy in so many ways I need you… but not in this way… Just as a friend, as the family you are…
Why can’t I just say “No”…? Why do I’ve the feeling that I have to repay your kindness this way? Why do you expect me to allow you to use me? Is it because we both believe no one else is crazy enough to want me?
You left satisfied, again… And I left behind feeling like a cheap whore Am I that unworthy? It certainly feels that way right now!

When I first met you
I fell for you head over heels,
The strength in your weakness
To share your fragile side
With the world
With me…
You saw me
I couldn’t nor wouldn’t pretend
The mask came off…
You understood me…
I understood you…
At least I thought we did…
It felt so safe and secure…
For the first time I belonged
We’ve been through so much
Together…
Us against the world…
But along the way…
We lost each other
The sharing stopped..
Each of us became the prisoner
Off his own head
The sorrow and pain
All locked inside
Pretended to be strong
Pretended to be happy
Our strength became our weakness
Security became scaring
Trust became lies
Safety became violence
How could it go wrong like this?
Standing naked ... together
Made this one for my ex on his first birthday we were together..

Hectic and chaotic
My thoughts wander
Between extremes of
Happiness and fear
Feeling known
Being seen
Fear for commitment
Fear of repeating
Pain and grieve
Scared of believing
In love
The love that is
The love I feel
Why can’t I believe
In the possibility
Of someone liking me?
Even if I'm weak and fragile
My tears keep on flowing
They are warm
Hectic and chaotic
Returning, all the old pain
Fear and Sadness
While I should be happy
Why do I don't trust my own feelings?

Six years ago
Next to your bed
I sat
Holding your hand
Seeing your struggle
For every gasp of breath
You have seen them all this day
The ones you loved
You spoke them all
Breathless as you were
They all paid their last respects
At this hour
It was just you and me
I can still feel your hand
Holding mine, in a steady grip
Out off conscious, at this time
Your restless soul kept on fighting
For your scattered life
For each and every gasp of breath
Powerless I felt
Seeing you in so much pain and agony
I told you it was okay
It was time to let go
And while I write this words
Six years ago
You took your final breath
The fluids which filled your lungs
Gulped out of your mouth
This was it…
The struggle of your life was ended
With the final words
“Now I really am going”
In your own clear voice
You let your life slip away…
You died years to early but you past away at the right moment.
Thanks mom, I still love you...

Did I provoke you, or did you provoke me?
Am I as cheap as i feel right now?
Yes, I am…
Is it the inheritance from our grandfather, aunts and moms?
I called out for your help….
Did you though it was an invitation for more?
How is it possible
That I allowed you to hurt me again?
Why do I still reach out for you?

I need you… but not in this way…
Just as a friend, as the family you are…

Is it because we both believe no one else is crazy enough to want me?

And I left behind feeling like a cheap whore
Am I that unworthy?
It certainly feels that way right now!
