I haven't done a single painting in any medium since my son was born nearly eight years ago.

I like the mistiness of it. Hmm, I also like that you paint for fun, for yourself, because I have seen how artists can be tempted to do what they think will sell - and how detrimental that can be to their art.Anairamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08626269831496499230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534124540070958712.post-16788112521550641822009-10-11T19:43:23.474-06:002009-10-11T19:43:23.474-06:00Holy crap, Leenie!

I think you nailed it , sister! <br />I tried Sumi-e for about a month, also Chinese caligraphy ,where the energy of the earth that travels up through you and out to the tip of the brush is true, exact and just enough never too much, where the energy backs back out of the brush and returns to the earth- I failed on all levels.The pure energy of the earth traveled as far as my ankle I think - fussy clutter took over, as usual...any pure energy got muddied and wacked out.<br />I so admire your work, Dear Neener! Love that you art for pleasure and learning- as it should be...Linda Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03070050388987072100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534124540070958712.post-48765446748918703522009-10-08T10:33:23.535-06:002009-10-08T10:33:23.535-06:00We've had the pleasure of smelling a wood burn...We've had the pleasure of smelling a wood burning fire while out walking.
