At 54 years old I've developed a passion for creating colorful and whimsical "stuff" and it never really occured to me to think of it as art until I started reading folks like you. Thanks for the inspiration!<BR/><BR/>RandyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29575922.post-6996589574792012792008-08-06T08:55:00.000-05:002008-08-06T08:55:00.000-05:00Thanks Deanna.

Only after I heeded that advise was I able to get over my "artist's block" and truly start making strides in my work.Emily Clarkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06034592586881248036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29575922.post-84690335443676312062008-08-06T03:13:00.000-05:002008-08-06T03:13:00.000-05:00I enjoyed this post very much-what's the saying??"...I enjoyed this post very much-what's the saying??<BR/>"Genius is 99% perspiration and 1% talent..." Well, something like that. I relate to much of what you pointed out here...thanks for putting it into words...it is 4 am, and you just inspired me! <BR/>To be able to "Inspire" is another benefit of learning to stay committed-even when it is difficult, or "seemingly" hopeless. It is often at these very times that the experience transpires into some kind of break through-artistically, emotionally-or both. Thanks for your thoughts on this subject....<BR/>Julianne<BR/>www.colorspeaker.comcolorspeakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01125544810430940910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29575922.post-183977724316791572008-08-05T13:04:00.000-05:002008-08-05T13:04:00.000-05:00"So you have to figure out what you're committed t..."So you have to figure out what you're committed to for the long run and be willing to make ugly things, make mistakes, break down that brick wall, and gradually get to that point where what you create is exactly what you had envisioned."<BR/><BR/>Yep. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
