My Husband's Family Laughed At My 'Finger Paintings ' Then Christie's Called With An Offer

I'm in my studio now, starting a new collection. The light comes in through the skylights I had installed with the auction money. The walls are covered with works in progress — layers of color and texture and meaning that only I can see right now.
Graham visits me here sometimes. He sits in the corner and watches me paint. He asks questions now — real questions, about technique and inspiration and what I'm trying to express. He's learning to see what I see. It's not perfect. But it's progress.
Judith sent me a note last week. She asked if I would consider doing a portrait of her mother, who passed away last year. She said she finally understood that art could hold things that words couldn't. I said yes.
The people who dismiss your passion don't get to define its worth. The people who mock your dreams don't get to determine your ceiling. And the people who refuse to see you today might be the ones begging to understand you tomorrow.
Keep creating. Keep building. Keep painting your truth, even when the room is full of people calling it finger paintings.
Because one day, Christie's might call. And you'll have a catalog to send.
If you've ever been told your passion wasn't a real career, hit that like button and share this story. And remember: the only opinion that matters is the one you have of yourself when the lights go out and you're alone with your work.
