Recently was my first month anniversary of SA
When I first arrived on this site there were other artists who ahd recently joined. I found their art amazing, some of them liked mine. I had not realized what you and I (as in general) can do. I am a visual thinker, which means i think not faster but more crowded than the normal human being. Because of this, I paint beautiful pictures in my head. Sometimes i can spend hours painting the picture. And then, since i have this hindering disability, I cannot put it to paper. Imagine that your paintings, writings, or most valuable posessions were suddenly thrown away and then burned. I am always frustrated with my hands, because they will not draw for me. And that makes me mad at myself.
Here at SA there is one artist who has painted pictures that actually I have seen almost the same in my dreams, in my mind. That artist is Onna. One time I found myself looking at her first picture that she first posted. Thought back to the time I was at the docks where my Grandparents used to live...The image i painted of a child was there...and I realized that what I had tried multiple times to put to paper was there. Suddenly, for no reason, as soon as i saw it, I cried. Yeah, I admit it. Cried like a baby (well it was more one or two sobs but whatever). The frustration within has been relieved thanks to Onna. Her art stuns me. Simply for letting me see things I thought dead, unseen, unknown, I dedicate this poem to her. She may use it as she likes.
The first two lines are hers and belong to her.
This poem is dedicated and officially belongs to

Wow, very beautiful and full of real emotion. I've become a little sentimental over a picture that seemed to bring back memorys too, not always good ones either. I'm definitely going to fave this.

And as you say I've done for you, now you've brought me to tears. Thank you.
That poem speaks as much to me as the image did in my head before I forced it on paper. When I thought of it, I was also remembering my grandparents, who gave me many a memory on a dock such as that and the ocean below. I miss them very much, and so I've tried many times to express what I've felt for them in so many pictures. Never did I really think they could touch someone else as vividly as they did me, because I found myself with the same frustration as you -- that what images and thoughts were in my head, my hands could hardly bring to life.
Anyway. I'm happy to have shared this moment with you, and even if it meant something different for both of us, I feel closer to you for having experienced it.

*cries* i am entranced by onna's work as well, and frustrated daily by at limits my hands and eyes create.
this is why she is my favorite artist, and i am very proud to say that she drew a picture for me, one of myself.
