It's hard making a change, but it's important to listen to your inner voice...it tells you where you must go. Perhaps you should let go of expectations and just paint until it's "done." Then see what you have. Sometimes our mental images block the flow of what really wants to come out.

It is the inner critic that has you in a dither...maybe. And I really really do understand change and wanting it and trying to make it happen but being apprehensive about it too. <BR/>Oh and I love your collage today.<BR/>SharonSharon Tomlinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07502692144363548970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15254205.post-1158653814000288192006-09-19T09:16:00.000+01:002006-09-19T09:16:00.000+01:00It's so hard to know what to say when someone is f...It's so hard to know what to say when someone is feeling these things. The feelings themselves are valid, of course, but not necessarily the true point. Your work moves people - that's an established fact. You're the artist who made me love pastel colors! <BR/><BR/>I think it's ok to leave things on the back burner to brew awhile. The danger in that is in never returning to stir the pot. <BR/><BR/>This will pass - ebb & flow is natural & each state is necessary. You're so gifted, your work is absolutely unique & unassuming. Yet at the same time, for me, it shows me possibilities of lightness & serenity that are often absent in my day-to-day. It's ok if you allow others to believe FOR you from time to time. You're no fraud. Maybe things are incubating, not yet ready to show themselves. Maybe they need rest. Maybe they want to speak different truths than the ones you're trying to make them say. It can be that simple. Stocking shelves is not an option here, I think.<BR/><BR/>Warmest regards,<BR/>NeasaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15254205.post-1158650213736301352006-09-19T08:16:00.000+01:002006-09-19T08:16:00.000+01:00This is a beautiful piece, Karen, and a beautiful ...This is a beautiful piece, Karen, and a beautiful post, too! <BR/>Your work is wonderful & you have a style that is so unique. I'm certain that you will do well, and I certainly don't see you stacking shelves! ;) Just play your way through the changes, creating from the heart.

Sorry, I am blabbering on rather. By the way, I really like this painting, I think it is my favourite piece from your work that I have seen so far. It's a funny old world!<BR/>Penny.xnatural attrillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11932782598258944332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15254205.post-1158638887673314732006-09-19T05:08:00.000+01:002006-09-19T05:08:00.000+01:00I really like this one, its so light and yet with ...I really like this one, its so light and yet with so much life in it. <BR/>Thank you for sharing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15254205.post-1158632055515078072006-09-19T03:14:00.000+01:002006-09-19T03:14:00.000+01:00I'm a commercial artist as well, branching out int...I'm a commercial artist as well, branching out into "illustration." If you hadn't claimed this to be unfinished I never would have guessed. I love the mystery. I love the outline forms. I love the colors. This is a gorgeous piece. It works AS IS.
