Imperfecty Beautiful

This painting is called Imperfecty Beautiful, I did it some time back, but it has a lot of meaning to me.I learned a great lesson when I painted it, everything in this picture is out of line with what certain people believe is beautiful, I didn't realize that myself when I painted it.I was actually very dissatisfied and disappointed with my attempts to work with watercolor, I actually taught myself the lesson that I as well do not need to strive to be perfect , no one does.Just be yourself and do it so beautifully with the knowledge that you do not need anyone's approval but God'sI have an aquired brain injury, I have heard all the put downs, names labeled, and I am also guilty of saying them to myself as wellI have felt the shame, humiliation of feeling less than I was.I have learned that it's a part of me, learned that patience and practice of doing things in ways that work for me.That's an achievement and a gain, my paintings and writings are a way of sharing my heart,hopes and dreams
