I have to admit, I would have just chucked a painting I didn't like and taken pleasure in the shredding of it (yes, I've done that and yes, I do feel better afterwards). But...having said that you've made me stop and think about the whole creating/recreating process. I can tell you in all honesty, I like this painting better now, than before. I like the abstract element it has now, I "feel" it more. Good work Lisa, and thanks for making us all think.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-614658792212403547.post-54560126604380497882008-08-03T00:10:00.000-07:002008-08-03T00:10:00.000-07:00Lisa, you express so well the joys and frustration...Lisa, you express so well the joys and frustrations that we all share deep down. I am often scared and unsure of my work and it is only when I "forget" myself that I am most happy.. Believe in yourself for you are truly an artist.

There is so much mud to apply and remove and then the light goes so we jsut end up doing tequila shots until the garage studio gets cold. <BR/><BR/>Like you I am just trying to get it right. <BR/><BR/>I like your canvas. Be the paint. <BR/><BR/>I will be the mud.John M.

I'm actually surprised you passed on this opportunity. You don't give yourself enough credit. You are an artist and have proved this time and time again with all your wonderful collages, assemblage, mixed-media projects,woven nests and wonderful photos. If it's not too late I'd still join the group. <BR/><BR/>Your quilt landscape is coming along. If you feel stuck, step away for awhile and work on something else for awhile.<BR/><BR/>We all feel the disconcerting blues sometimes and have moments that flow or don't flow. It doesn't mean we are not artists.<BR/><BR/>Keep painting, please! I still owe you polymer instruction. Haven't forgotten.

You owe the painting and you decide what happens to it. We just join you in looking at it and enjoying the process of its creation. Isn't it nice to be bold and make new statements? It can be so liberating.Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05043376053971475659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-614658792212403547.post-74191093173464645142008-07-30T04:38:00.000-07:002008-07-30T04:38:00.000-07:00What struck me here is the realization and declara...What struck me here is the realization and declaration that you had been "<I>willing to let (the paint) lead me</I>". I often think learning to control ones' tools is like learning to dance. At first, you let your partner <I>lead</I> you. Later, when all the steps have been learnt and internalized, you begin to really step out. Be happy and thank the <I>paint</I> for leading you this far.Mickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17423557003198168150noreply@blogger.com
