i need more money for paints

i brought two of my latest paintings home last night, and before i stepped in the door i knew my mom wouldnt want to look at them too long. im going to take pictures of them when aaron gets home so i can put them on for you to see (mehiel, i think you may be the only one who reads this anymore, so consider it my invitation for you to see my private art show.) she said 'its not flowers' as she pointed at one of my sisters paintings, and i replied hastily 'mom, i never did paint flowers.' so now i feel renewed in my painting abilities, to make a woman in my art class get choked up over one of my pieces is one of the best compliments i could have ever received.
