Also the last words from that courageous girl are words I will keep.

So that is a bit weird. That's why I mainly sell prints. I love that painting you have done with collage of the bunches of leaves. So original and colorful.

Even when I'm writing this comment, I'm conscious of how it will be received and perceived...Gosh, there is so much work that needs to be done to be rid of this imprisonment of self. Comparison is the killer of contentment- they say, but it's easier said than done. Your art and your words are you and I for one am happy I've access to both:) LOVE your posts. xxArtihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15455186909681790185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7784126954179412647.post-52963360371287187802014-11-07T10:20:35.918-04:002014-11-07T10:20:35.918-04:00Wow, Pauline.

On the days I compare myself to others, there is not coming out on top...until I remember that's not the point of creating and I resume at my own pace, in my own way. I could use a little more grounding and taking care of day to day business but I am working on it. That's how I see myself...a work in progress :) Thanks for visiting me.

There's so much negativity in the world, but there's so much to be grateful for - just stop listening to the harbingers of doom. Thankfully I don't have a TV, and Team Rock don't do news-slots; so if I want doom and gloom I'd have to go and find it for myself - and that's too much like hard work :)<br />As for the worry about art - I've been there, done that and got the splattered T-shirt. AEDM has managed to get me back on track again, and I didn't realised how much I'd missed it!Nigelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05000098999820317914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7784126954179412647.post-5480807885782394592014-11-05T23:51:49.311-04:002014-11-05T23:51:49.311-04:00LOVE the essays that accompany your art!
