Life has substance beyond any surface... and it's open to exploring if we only will. That's why I love poetry and literature... I often write out a paragraph or a just a line or two in my journal because they take my mind on a little hike. Paintings and drawings do the same... Thanks for your comment.

I love anything transparent - symbolically and literally - and also things inside of things - if that makes sense. Barb – I love that weird, bold, interesting painting.

I'll watch for your post on ideas taking form... :) Now that’s interesting, Sonya — I hadn’t seen it both ways, but I do now. I’ll watch for your post on ideas taking form… :)

But I was also considering a post on ideas: seems to be in the cyber-air :) Lets see when mine materializes - today, or later. I like how your box looks at once curved, showing the outer surface, and flat - as if its been cut open to show the inside. Umm, will have to sleep on that for a while!

It is eerie, I know. That's what happens when you doodle-sketch. See how bold I am putting it here for you all to see? I'm right with you, Anita... I've read much of your blog(s) and you're more than bold. You're courageous. And a beautiful serendipity of your courage is how many people you help. Valerie, I love your story. I feel that I'm back in math or science labs with your if... then... statements. Or figuring out how, a few years ago, to do anything with the formulas in Lotus. Never mind how to write the program! I bow to you... Hahaha! It is eerie, I know. That’s what happens when you doodle-sketch. See how bold I am putting it here for you all to see?

Yes, 'stewing' as you say is a good way to get ideas rising to the surface. (I did have the idea of calling my site 'Purple Owl's Idea Kitchen' at one time!! ) Your 'bold' painting I find atmospheric and eerily evocative with the reflected eyes. That certainly bubbled up from your subconscious! I do find 'sleeping on it' particularly effective, not only for dreaming up ideas but for finding practical solutions. Once upon a time in the dawn of the net, I had a go at writing Basic code. One night I got in a frightful tangle, with nested 'if, then, else' commands all hopelessly jumbled together. I wrestled with the problem until about 2.30 am and in the end just had to go to bed from exhaustion, even more muddled than when I started. In the morning I woke with everything neatly arranged, the code about a quarter the length and complexity of the night before. Glad my post got you thinking.
