But according to my mother, my recent painting looks like done by a 10-year-old which means I am no artist material so she won't help pay my university...


My concern is, have you even heard about stylizing? It was MEANT to look that way for Heaven's sake...
But yeah...
Anyway.
Dream crushed.
Badly.

Well I guess I'm no artist material anyway...

How can she base this opinion of not being "artist material" off one individual picture? Every time I happen to stumble upon your gallery, I get incredibly jealous because of the skill and confidence you possess! Your Captain Jack Sparrow painting was my screensaver for 2 months!

I understand that she's your mother and such a comment can be seriously damaging to your confidence, especially because it's come from her, but I urge you not to give up on this dream. If she won't pay for your university, I'm afraid you'll have to find another method. Might I suggest saving up, doing the impossible task of getting a job to fund it, student loans, take on some commissions?

I do not mean to offend you, but your mother must be too blind to see the talent and potential you have.
