You've spent all your life up to this time, ruminating and creating, so in that way, it's been a lot of time! It's lovely as well as the post!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2045274146381749089.post-51621661113976141202009-03-09T11:27:00.000-06:002009-03-09T11:27:00.000-06:00Very touching story about the Alzheimer's patient....Very touching story about the Alzheimer's patient. That is so true about shutting up our inner critics.<BR/><BR/>Someone somewhere said something to me about how unreasonable it is to expect to like every single piece we ever create. That attitude was pretty liberating to me. Even the "bad" pieces help us develop.<BR/><BR/>I love the colors and mosaic effect in this painting.Coreopsishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03468751724163567889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2045274146381749089.post-36492199468280577272009-03-09T07:06:00.000-06:002009-03-09T07:06:00.000-06:00I love the mosaic effect in the surface of the fou...I love the mosaic effect in the surface of the fountain.

I have a radiator at the top of my stairs where I prop things so that the next time I go up the stairs I'll be 'surprised' by it - and at least I do see it in a different light there.

When I want to get distance from something new, I leave it lying around and then try to sneak up on it as if I've never seen it before.Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07912129071129770715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2045274146381749089.post-81181441292692411182009-03-07T12:03:00.000-07:002009-03-07T12:03:00.000-07:00Isn't it true?

When will we learn to relax and enjoy our lives? I love your painting--reminds me of the kids I work with in my other life. :)Rebecca Mezoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16138972934775842473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2045274146381749089.post-81765675160284527322009-03-07T05:48:00.000-07:002009-03-07T05:48:00.000-07:00This is beautiful as it is!
