I miss such discussions, (I don't have the language for such discussions in my new country) and have lately started exploring blogs to stimulate my own thinking. <BR/><BR/>You tackled an issue very close to my own heart in this post. <BR/><BR/>I am very glad to have found your blog.

Must be my great, big feet getting in the way, again.<BR/><BR/>Patrice— Yes, the difference seems to be between having convictions one wants to convey, vs. being so involved in the expression of the convictions that we are compelled to complete them. <BR/><BR/><B>Interestingly,</B> there is a story out that Jindal couldn't have had the encounter with the Sheriff that he described: he was in another part of the State at the time. So, the story was a fabrication -- another reason he sounded 'flat.' "Funny, Republicans always tell us how bad government is -- then get elected, and prove it." (From Thom Hartmann).<BR/><BR/>Joan— You're very welcome. I just addressed the question in the terms in which you posed it.<BR/><BR/>The painting in the post may be too contrived to have merit. We'll have to see if some spontaneity will find its way back in, which might save it. But I'll be happy to talk about the thinking, in either case: I believe in learning from successes <I>and</I> mistakes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3127758693763459029.post-711604829878605152009-03-02T12:16:00.000-07:002009-03-02T12:16:00.000-07:00Hi Edgar,I came over to especially thank you for y...Hi Edgar,<BR/>I came over to especially thank you for your last comment on my 'art class' painting. You seem to understand what I was trying to do spot on. I have some graphic design background too so maybe that has something to do with it.<BR/>And I found a wonderful painting in progress. I hope you'll write more about your thought process with this painting.<BR/>I enjoyed reading your post today. I think it is a fine line between expressing ourselves with art and trying too hard or forcing some emotion with our art. A very fine line.<BR/>JoanJoan Breckwoldthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026580851365108519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3127758693763459029.post-51196540958350240642009-03-01T16:12:00.000-07:002009-03-01T16:12:00.000-07:00As I watched Governor Jindal's rebuttal, I was str...As I watched Governor Jindal's rebuttal, I was struck by how uncomfortable he looked - as if even he did not believe what he was saying. A more painful "performance" I've rarely seen. <BR/><BR/>If one can not "own" the part, or the art - if one has no faith and no confidence in what they are attempting to portray, no one else will believe in it either.<BR/><BR/>Great post.Patricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10722805078667526468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3127758693763459029.post-72661887824782003692009-03-01T15:38:00.000-07:002009-03-01T15:38:00.000-07:00Gosh, Edgar....How is it you can express the ideas...Gosh, Edgar....<BR/>How is it you can express the ideas on the edges of our minds before we are able to bring them to being??<BR/>Thanks again for your thoughtful and insightful posts...

Audrey Hepburn made an art out of being unselfconsciously graceful. You make unselfconscious art out of being lively and humorous. What could be wrong with that?<BR/><BR/>Keep it real, Barbara. ...Always a pleasure to get one of your sunny comments.Edgarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06049136988037448625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3127758693763459029.post-53494086017791274732009-02-28T23:26:00.000-07:002009-02-28T23:26:00.000-07:00Oh Edgar,I do love how you keep forcing us to thin...Oh Edgar,<BR/><BR/>I do love how you keep forcing us to think. Just when I thought it was safe to go back to read your blog -- wham another foray into intelligent discussion. What about simpletons like me who just like to paint, just make colours move around, or line? Are we doing the right thing, or are we missing the point, of having a point. <BR/><BR/>By the way the painting looks great so far. Keep going.<BR/><BR/>Take care,<BR/><BR/>BarbaraBarbara Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01342757136485853833noreply@blogger.com
