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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, 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 spent hours hand-painting an awesome design on a gift for a friend. My husband was supposed to assemble it when I finished, but when I stepped back to admire my work, he informed me that the whole thing was sideways. He watched me paint it. 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
Today, it's my girlfriend's birthday. I presented her with an oil painting of her that I'd been working on for over a month, and she started to cry. I thought it was because she liked it, until she asked if she really looks that ugly and disproportionate in real life. FML
Today, I came home to find that my girlfriend had repainted my bedroom. As she had offered to do it, it shouldn't have been a problem. However, she decided to return the several unopened cans of off-white paint that I'd bought for something "more neutral." Like "Sunset Orange." FML
Today, as my friend was rudely rummaging through my phone, she saw a picture of the pottery I've painted her for Christmas. Not only did she see it, but she also declared it ugly. That's probably the present I'm the most proud of this Christmas. FML
Today, my grandpa saw one of the paintings in the guest room at my house. "What the fuck?" he snorted, then said whoever painted it should "stick to their damn day job". I painted it. FML
Today, my friend told me I'm not welcome in her house anymore. I've spent the last two months painting and doing it up for her, because she's pregnant and couldn't herself. I just finished the job. FML
Today, my wife sold her first painting and was so proud of herself, until she found the buyer online and realized his YouTube page is full of videos where he paints over horrible art and turns it into good art. Her painting was on it, and yes, he visibly improved it and yes, my wife is raging at me. FML

Can't you just take it back? And lock your room...

If she thought it was a gift FROM YOU, why did she ask YOUR opinion on it?

You don't even have to wait. It is yours, not hers. Take it back. Easy. Stupid people are like animals, you have to be a bit firm sometimes or they will just run amuck.

I agree with everyone else. It's yours, not hers - take it back and store it elsewhere. Also, did you do anything else? Try to reason with her, take it back, call the cops? I'd like an update to know if you got your property back and if you managed to work through it or not. It'd be great to know if you got your piece of work back.

Sign the artwork when she's not at home so you have proof of your rights to that painting. If you let her get away with this then she'll try to get away with more and that won't be fun. Do you want the problem to get worse? Don't let her get away with taking your painting. She can't say it's a "gift" if you didn't actually give it to her and told her to keep it.

Since it's yours, and you never gave it to her, by law she stole it. Tell her that and if she doesn't give it back, either take it back or go to the police.

that's really rude. I know how that kind of bull feels. Honestly hurts but it's yours. if you have a signature on it, then just take it back. no one should take stuff without being said.

report her for theft.
