I have drawn flowers, and remember every details of those flowers, photographed flowers just don't bring back memories the same way. (I still take pictures though!)<BR/>LOVE YOUR BLOG...added it to my Thoughts on Life and Millinery.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15826496514403918108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22571073.post-49266438011664338972007-03-18T11:38:00.000-04:002007-03-18T11:38:00.000-04:00Well, you are just being nice...and I appreciate i...Well, you are just being nice...and I appreciate it! The light wasn't so intense from the floor...lol! I wish...but feel I am a very long ways from even thinking about painting...although, I will confess that someday I truly would like to try.<BR/><BR/>Thanks, Yolanda Elizabet!Gotta Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05858358103234856020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22571073.post-85480272094306658232007-03-18T08:19:00.000-04:002007-03-18T08:19:00.000-04:00Hi GG,Not bad at all girl, you can draw allright! ...Hi GG,<BR/><BR/>Not bad at all girl, you can draw allright! The picture you choose was not an easy one with all that reflection of light coming of the middle and right dafs. Hope you will find another art class and can continue having fun with drawing and perhaps even painting?Yolanda Elizabet Heuzenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02506031220151023088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22571073.post-55827194686170927412007-03-17T21:28:00.000-04:002007-03-17T21:28:00.000-04:00Oh..thanks!

I'm not really sure where I got the message that I couldn't draw...but somewhere. So, it is like pulling teeth to convince myself that maybe, just maybe, I can (anyone can be taught to draw). <BR/><BR/>There's some good literature on this that I mean to check into.

A group of my friends here get together for occasional "critiques." Even though we run the gamut from rank amateurs to professional artists and everyone is always very nice and encouraging, I get deathly afraid when it's my turn!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14395380166485303934noreply@blogger.com
