But I wanted...Hi Chrissy - Again I just love these! But I wanted to swing by and tell you thanks for the comment you left on my blof. And I thought to share something that was pivotal to how I saw myself as an artist. It was a couple of years ago and I must have been complaining to my husband about my inability to get off the ground artistically. He told me my problem was that I was too much of a "jack if all trades" with my art. He said it like it was a bad thing. But when I think jack of all trades I think of renaissance artists like da Vinci. It helped me to reuse that mt incessant hopping from media go media was really fueled by a need to know how they all work. And curiosity in art is never a bad thing. Trust your inner artist that all the disparate interests will cone together some day and you will be so glad you allowed yourself to be whimsical with your self-education now. Hope this made sense. :) Love your photos of hiking- I miss it right now. :)Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14477444986728004457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-313118773029419673.post-15407439982511202222010-07-26T08:35:47.784-07:002010-07-26T08:35:47.784-07:00you....my dear dear friend....inspire ALL of us wh...you....my dear dear friend....inspire ALL of us who come visit you here at this sweet home of yours.<br /><br />i just LOVE this idea....and i love the messages written and all the <br />lovely little spots that you stowed them in. <br /><br />i LOVE this beautiful picture of Michah! what a beautiful soul.<br /><br />i adore you and miss you MUCH!!<br /><br />xoxoxo<br />kKolleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10951082176163156364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-313118773029419673.post-53109357626367978092010-07-26T06:22:03.775-07:002010-07-26T06:22:03.775-07:00What an beautiful idea.
