Maybe I should post more of my partly done paintings to demonstrate how bad they can look :>). Also, I am very fortunate to have had some good teachers, especially my very best teacher, mentor, and friend, Linda Blondheim. Some of the roadblocks may well have been permanent barriers without her helpful guidance. You are a brave, talented, and creative woman, Sherry--I also wish for you that it were easier for you to just let go and to be less self-critical. Maybe when you get to be as old as I am :>) !Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11588695586677501283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1065634132019405929.post-46774968460998022332012-07-20T06:21:39.831-04:002012-07-20T06:21:39.831-04:00At the risk of sounding negative, I would have to ...At the risk of sounding negative, I would have to say that most of my seasons have troublesome in them.

Oh to be able to just let go once in awhile!<br /><br />Mary, you have forgotten more than I will ever know when it comes to art. To hear you use the word "unable" almost makes me laugh, not to make light of your feelings. Your work is always just gorgeous.Autumn Leaveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04010044052621228719noreply@blogger.com
