Adventure Number Seven.

Fate brought Dint Sweitzer into my life this summer. A life changing person this woman was. There was this art thing for little children on Pewaukee Lake and one of my friends asked me to help volunteer. So I went expecting to just paint faces or something. Well while I was there they had pretty much nothing for me to so I was drawing with chalk in hopes to maybe influence some children to join me. And Dint Sweitzer had her paintings set up on a table for people to see. And these paintings seemed to catch my interest for they had a twist to them. They were portraits but with real jewelry and real scarves attached. I've been having strange dreams of paintings such as this with a 3D aspect to them. My dreams in many cases intertwine with what is going to happen in the future. Whether it is my boyfriend's little sister having friends over, getting dumped for someone else or seeing my death. But after seeing her paintings I knew I had to talk to her to find out if there is any meaning and connection between the two.So I went over to get a closer look. She was excited to be able to talk about her work and we ended up talking for a little under an hour. We basically talked about our artistic journey and it was amazing to see this elderly lady that has more experience that I do years express the same exact struggles that I've been going through. This was just after my experience with the pre-college MIAD classes and I was somewhat artistically depressed. And to hear her say that she is still going through those same stages even after all these years made me feel better. For I was not alone. Granted that could be seen as something somewhat depressing because that means it will never end but at least I know it's not just me. She also told me about the Art Crawl event that was taking place in Waukesha on Main St. If it wasn't for her telling me about it that would have been an experience I would have missed. (Art Crawl is adventure number eight) So going to this thing for children brought an unexpected friend into my life and also gave answers to my dreams and on top of all that led me to another wonderful art filled adventure.
