Today, one of my paintings was accepted into a local art gallery. It would've been a dream come true, had my "best friend" not submitted it under her own name and taken all the credit. FML

Today, I turned in my best painting yet for a scholarship competition. For once in my life, I was actually proud of a piece I'd done. I ended up losing the scholarship to some dickface who'd basically just glued together some crap from the dollar store and called it conceptual art. FML

Today, my roommate asked for my opinion of her new painting. The same painting I hand-painted for over ten hours. She apparently thought it was a gift. She won't give it back. FML

Today, I found out that my art project, the one I've been working on for the last two weeks and the first piece I felt really comfortable about turning in, was stolen out of the art cupboard. FML

Today, I moved into my new apartment complex. I left some items including a cherished painting my best friend made for me outside the front door while I moved furniture into my bedroom. When I went back outside, someone had kicked a huge hole in the painting. Welcome to the neighborhood. FML

Today, after months of hard work, planning, and preparation, I held the reception for my first art show at a gallery. Nobody showed up. FML

Today, it was my first big time art show. To celebrate I went out to lunch with some people whose work was also there. When we got back, police were everywhere. Someone had broken in and stolen all of the art. All except mine. Even burglars don't want my art. FML

Today, I finished a painting I'd spent 3 weeks working on for an exhibition. When I came back from lunch, my cat was perched above it on my desk. He looked at me, then down at the painting, then jumped down onto it. He slipped and smeared the wet paint everywhere, ruining the whole thing. FML

Today, I spent the whole night and day painting a portrait of my girlfriend. Being proud of it, I sent it to her hoping she would appreciate it. I spent hours working on that picture only for her to reply with, "That's not me, is it?" FML

Today, I lost an art contest to some talentless arsepipe whose piece was literally just a broken heart crudely drawn in her own blood. FML

Today, I finished a big art project. It was a self-portrait done in acrylics. Proud of my piece, I showed my mom. After some thought her first comment was, "well, I'm either going to insult your art or your face." FML

You've got a shitty best friend there. Did you not sign your painting?

Look on the bright side: your best friend thinks your work is great. You've got your first fan! Maybe the two of you could team up and you let her market your work. You have painting talent and she's a master in the art of selling. It's win-win! Worked for Cyrano de Bergerac.

If I were you I would go there with some of your art and tell them that she stole it, and then get the police involved.

That's crap, but if you really are talented, then I'm sure you will be able to get another one displayed at some point.

Nice sentiment, but there is absolutely no way OP should take this lying down. To OP's best friend: I really hope the five minutes hanging in a gallery was worth the amount of damage you're probably going to end up doing to your reputation.

Perhaps, so this never happens again, you should film yourself painting it, like some people do, that post them painting paintings on YouTube, you know? That way, you have valid proof you painted said painting, even if you didn't put your name on it. Just a thought.

Just have the art gallery manager sit you both down and discuss the painting in detail. The truth will come out

Maybe I'm understanding this wrong, but what was your friend doing with the original painting in the first place? Did you give it to her as a gift or did she steal it? I'm sorry OP, Hopefully something will be done. Hope you teach that bitch an art lesson: never to steal credit from you. ever.

You DO mean former friend don't you? I'd probably turn up at the art gallery with similar paintings I'd done to prove to the manager that it was in fact my work of art (if I were you).
