Bravo! Masterful! Your perseverance and discipline inspire me. (Not to mention your ideas and thought process!) Is your creativity class virtual?
ReplyDeleteHi Gloria
ReplyDeleteThank you for your very kind feedback! Making art is so darn solitary! The class I'm taking is not virtual, but it's very fast paced which can be difficult for a plodder like me. And it's getting me thinking and forcing me to play with materials. Perhaps I'll share a few 'successes' here. perhaps.
really? you? rigid and uptight? Nope. Notta chance. No way. I think that being disciplined and responsible are not even distant cousins to rigid and uptight. Would a rigid uptight person have rescued, cast-off-to-the-side-of-the-road stuffies and dollies living in the shelves of their laundry room? I think not.
ReplyDeleteCan't a person be rigid, uptight as well as sentimental and sappy? And...I'm surprised you remembered my laundry room shelf of misfit toys!
ReplyDeleteI remember Plumpy especially. Nope. Can't be rigid AND sentimental. Just not so. Perfectionistic artistic yearnings, perhaps?
