It IS all art! And how versatile you are. I look forward to reading your music-art blog as it develops. :) Thank you so much for coming by... and bringing the dark chocolates. They go so well with coffee. David, I agree completely. It IS all art! And how versatile you are. I look forward to reading your music-art blog as it develops. :)

Thank you so much for coming by… and bringing the dark chocolates. They go so well with coffee.

I've had people tease me over the years about what I see (notice) and talk about -- to the point of just not talking about it so much. What I've discovered is that other artists -- of all types -- understand. You do. Thanks so much for stopping by -- I KNOW you like my coffee! :) Thank you, Nita — I’m trying to keep my eyes dry here.

It's no wonder you're such a fabulous artist.....whether it's drawing, painting, writing.....because your gift of noticing is so huge. You see things others simply don't and meld right into it, whether it's a person's face and body language, a flower, a country road.....you notice, dear sister, and everything you do reflects it. You've always been such a blessing to me.....God not only gave me a precious sister but also a best friend.

The Drama Doodle -- I like that. Most of my work has a touch of drama I think -- at least I always feel a wee bit of story as I sketch and paint. No story -- no painting. Or doodle. And the paper either gets torn into something workable in a collage, or it spends time in the drawer for such later use, or I just pitch it. :) That's one reason I like your site so much -- your work inspires me to get out the paste and play with design ideas.

It is amazing! The score in the background really makes it for me, probably because I am a musician. I just got my new electronic keyboard set up tonight and everything configured in my Finale music software, so I can start writing music again. I find that whatever I create, whether it is a piece of music, an animation, a software program, or even a blog post, it is all art! Barb, I really love your “Doodle” too. It is amazing!

And I'd like to sing like Julie Andrews in The Sound of Music. (You think that's asking too much? Maybe we'd better order early... :) ) I'll pass your comments on to Nita... and thanks.
