I'm prolific then I stall (life gets in the way). I'm sure that until my dying day I'll be working on being more organized ;)<br />XOXOX to you..Mary Sheehan Winnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07739304038978908921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35014064.post-24712040397607562602010-07-24T07:49:57.884-05:002010-07-24T07:49:57.884-05:00Gerald - thanks for your words - true as always -Gerald - thanks for your words - true as always -Carahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13577206872187236746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35014064.post-88317194873046617352010-07-23T12:51:09.453-05:002010-07-23T12:51:09.453-05:00As long as that need stays alive within you, us, t...As long as that need stays alive within you, us, the viewers, can enjoy the gifts you share.

I am reading a book called. "You Want ...Cara,<br /><br />I am reading a book called. "You Want to Write" by a woman named Brenda Ueland - penned way back in 1938. <br /><br />It is a fantastic read and really can translate to doing anything you love not just writing. I think, considering what you just posted and how you are feeling, this book might just be what you need to read. <br /><br />Here is a teaser, she writes about Vincent VanGogh - that is why I posted Don McLean's, 'Vincent' - oddly enough, you were in my mind along with a couple of other people when I posted it and poof! You showed up again in my e-mail this AM. <br /><br />I'm glad you did and it just serves as a reminder for me that the Universe really does conspire in strange and mysterious ways. I am glad our paths crossed. My world has certainly been enriched - disproportionately more so in my favor as my assessment goes.<br /><br />The book is one that often gets recommended in creative writing programs. I think you will understand why. <br /><br />At any rate, I love the painting and would love to buy it if you have any intent of selling it that is. <br /><br />It is a Saturday morning and I am listening to KANW. I just read your post and it makes me happy to see your creative impulses are alive and well. <br /><br />Be safe,<br />JThe Voicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10694757569312690117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35014064.post-65773193925519461262010-06-18T20:17:56.335-05:002010-06-18T20:17:56.335-05:00Thanks Lilli - you are so rightThanks Lilli - you are so rightCarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13577206872187236746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35014064.post-1845738246770693942010-06-18T20:17:55.788-05:002010-06-18T20:17:55.788-05:00Thanks Lilli - you are so rightThanks Lilli - you are so rightCarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13577206872187236746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35014064.post-84771316011691471992010-06-18T10:20:30.616-05:002010-06-18T10:20:30.616-05:00It's tough to be an artist isn't it Cara? ...It's tough to be an artist isn't it Cara?

Although sometimes it seems real life conspires against our painting time.
