Thank you for your comment. Sometimes the scribbles and doodles have more life in them than the carefully-structured paintings. My scribbles here would do well in an altered-book-art-journal, like the one you're making. I'm really hoping folks here will click over to <a href="Thank you for your comment.

You've inspired me to go find a book I'm willing to gesso-over. :) Barb Hi Karin…

THe way you added color just makes her glow with life. Your story makes me smile - and I think I actually might enjoy seeing your 'scribbles', knowing how they were inspired :) Being reminded to open up and use our whole body in the creation of our artwork can be so powerful! The energy changes completely... Thanks for your visit! Karin Hi Barb, Your portrait is beautiful! THe way you added color just makes her glow with life.

Yes, using a larger brush can be challenging. Actually, I like the bigger ones in Painter, but the program slows down if I get too large. Do you stand then when you use your acrylics? Probably you do when you work on collage. I don't think I could do a collage sitting down... Have to move and dance a little. Hahaha. Thanks so much for your comments. Thanks Wendy.

The colours are wonderful. Your tutor is so right about the big arm movements. I have the greatest of difficulty getting my students to paint standing up, but you really need to, to realise your full potential. Another way is to use a brush a couple of sizes or more bigger than your comfort zone. Would be interesting to try that in Painter, wouldn't it? This is a big success, isn’t it!

My old piano teacher, Mrs. Hughes, matched yours to a "t"....but in those days, I just didn't appreciate her kindess and patience. It makes me sad that I've never been able to get back to her and tell her what a beautiful inspiration she was to my later-developed soul. Like I said, she was indeed old when I was seven years old, and she passed away before I matured enough to get back to her. Your poem is just delightful.....glad you were also blessed with a "kind soul" along the way! Laura, I just went back and read your poem….when I was finished I had to wipe away a tear or two.

I love your story about the instructor leaning over you and kindly whispering what he meant by "draw anything"! I'm still laughing at that vision....I know you so well, and the "sight" of you at that point is just too delicious!! :)))) I'm so glad you kept on going.....as I knew you would, sis!!!

I've missed your posts and your poetry. You're still in my blog roll, just tucked away for a bit until your beautiful writing surfaces once again. And it has. Here! Thank you. :) I always cry a little when I read your work. There's such tenderness and complete understanding of who we are in each piece. I'll ask permission to reprint this in my own post, unless you do, in which case I'll just link to you. Thank you so much for coming by and leaving us your gift. I didn't know you taught the poetry class at LVS! But of course! And you know what? We can visit your blog right where it is. Please let me know when you post again?
