Solveg-it’s not surprising that the other art form- music, would be your direction. I just picked up a book about and by Tony Bennett who aside from being one of my favorite singers is a very talented painter.

It can’t be viewed as right or wrong because you’d never know.
I fully relate to the comparisons we make to others. Do you do that with other cellists?
It happens with me too that I look at others’ work and think I’ll never get there. But I get where I go and presumably there’s room for all of us on the road.
If you can teach, then you must know your art.
Oooh that almost pathologically addicted…….. I know what that’s like.
It serves as my continuing adult education in art school.
And when I consider how my typing speed has improved..well..justification if ever I heard it!

I always enjoy your enthusiastic descriptions.

I just LOVE that you used that word, both here and on Frank’s blog! TOO FUNNY! That’s like bubble-gum ice cream or something like that.

My aesthetic leaning: I’m a cellist and private music teacher…….but when I was young, I really wanted to be a painter…..I drew and painted a lot til one day in college I saw this girl’s work and it was so great, and my brain couldn’t really get around it as to how to make what she was making, and I knew in my heart I should pack it up. right or wrong, that was what I did. But I studied a lot of art history and architectural history………..I guess that’s all been coming back to my remembrance since discovering this awesome world of artist blogs!!!! I’m almost pathologically addicted……….

Looking forward to much more. Thanks for sharing.

How nice to know you stop by here regularly and that you find enough to bring you back.

We’re now out of storm season but still off the mainland radar map. Often an advantage.

Not knowing what your area of skill is, your comments on Franks’ blog would hint at an aesthetic leaning. And dagnabbit sometimes by the time I’ve arrived there, you’ve used up all the good words.

Look forward to more exchanges.

LOVE the dog/gecko photos, the overdone painting skeleton, and your sketches in this post. Very interesting about the origins of your blog, and about the various visitors you’ve had. I’m not surprised, since your blog is so worldly and interesting. I’m also very glad you made it through hurricane season, this year – seems like it was especially rough in your part of the region. Amazing that in the U.S. we barely hear anything about things where you are……just one MORE reason not to pay attention to the American press, in my opinion. I do NO U.S. media. None. well….other than the few headlines that cross my eyes as I pass through random websites. But that’s it.

Anyway, HI.
I like reading YOUR posts on Frank’s blog, too!

Happy Anniversary, a few days ago!
Solveg

Hope your cruise was relaxing.

Epic- you’re right on time! Vicarious blogging is a big sport among the resistant. They have YOURS, so they don’t need their own, right?
Thanks for stopping by again.

Looking forward to seeing more progress on the painting…..great start.

Frank- Thanks- I know you just completed your first year too.
We’ve been getting lots of photo tutorials in, so blog changing didn’t seem as important.
Now I suppose my photo images will have to live up to a higher standard too!
Pressure is everywhere!
