Thank you Rick- that’s a great compliment on both counts, having just perused your diversely talented display on your blog and website. Are you sure you’re only one person?

I appreciate the comments here.

Hi Bonnie,
I submitted a comment earlier today on the next post spot. I hit the “submit comment” button and it disappeared. I hope it went through because I could never rewrite it! It was long and full of great stuff! Maybe you have an approval delay on your posts and that is why it’s not showing up or I somehow lost it. Hope not. This comment is a test?!

Thank you Sharon- believe me, when you tell me YOU hit a dead zone, I feel saved!
I really appreciate your good humored, realistic perspective, more than I can say.

So glad you can post here now.

I’ll be taking photos, and letting myself feel like a kindergarten kid with finger paints.

Yeah!! I can finally post too!

“…endlessly luminous, prolific and they confess to loving every minute they’re in the studio…” Sure, now for the life of real artists. This artist experiences “the wall” more and more often as I’m expected to crank out the goods.

The workshop will be refreshing. A welcome change. You’ll be inspired by a different perspective. You already possess all the elements for unlimited, “luminous” paintings. Relax, enjoy and I look forward to the lovely renewal later…

Judy-Thanks for visiting and your words of empathetic encouragement. I’m waiting for the return of my muse.

I’ll be eager to see your new paintings of St. Croix. It might just stir me up!

Bonnie, I am glad I can make comments on your blog now. I had been unable to before.
I enjoyed meeting you when in St. Croix. I too, have times when I just don’t feel inspired. Usually when those times pass, I am more inspired than ever. Going to St. Croix this winter helped me and I have painted 3 St. Croix scenes since getting back and have more I want to paint. Reggie is updating my website soon and when he does I will let you know. My newest St. Croix paintings will be on it.

Dear Bonnie,

I hereby dub you “professional artist.” wink wink
I love your post and everyone’s comments are on target.
Pooh on those who find painting sooooooo relaxing and who always like their work.

Tracy, my frequent Tunisian visitor! It’s reassuring to have reminders from friends obviously more patient and understanding about me than I am, that this is temporary and sometimes a blessing.
Thanks so much for checking in regularly- it makes my day!

All the way from Africa.

Hope you and Kurt and kids are happy and fine.

Hi Bonnie,
Tracy here, checking in regularly from Tunis. I will echo your friends Reggie, Sue and Judy–love the “elf” comment.

It sounds like you are focused on product vs. process. Part of the process is exploring your world to see what will inspire you next. Using Reggie’s discharge anaology–you can’t discharge until you recharge! Maybe you need to go out on a walkabout.

I look forward to seeing what captures your amazing eye next–which will happend when it’s time.

Cheers to the north shore of St. Croix from the north shore of Africa!
Tracy
