I really really like them. I want...these are great. I really really like them. I want to see you do some watercolours again. This medium clearly suits you well. <br /><br />Perhaps the "tense looking" thing you are seeing in your own work lately is due to the media you use now; Oil or digital, which allow you to work and rework a piece, whereas watercolour obliges you to put it down once and leave the freshness alone? Maybe that is the "in the groove" thing you mention?<br /><br />Protecting the human heart is difficult. Of course, other parts of our body protect themselves by simply developing calluses... not such a good idea for the heart because that means that it is no longer able to feel... and what good is a heart that can no longer feel? <br /><br />Perhaps it is akin to caring for a child: you try to protect it but not to the point of shutting it off from the world and the chance to make its own mistakes. Pain is a part of a normal life all and we must feel that too. The main thing is to be ready to do it all again, hopefully with the wisdom of age (MINUS the bitterness) and with as much of the freshness of young-heartedness as we can muster, each time we fall (or are knocked) down.<br /><br />Anyway, I submit to you that the answer to this particular dilemma is best found not in art school but in the art you make itself. If not exactly protection for the heart then at least the healing part that allows you to get back up and go through it all again...<br /><br />This is a great post, However, I know a certain grey someone who would get bitey if she heard that someone ELSE is thought of as the "best cat in the world"James Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18283687555480506116noreply@blogger.com
