I had a very proud moment ...ARE YOU TALKING TO ME? I had a very proud moment today because I stumbled onto this blog and found out that a dear friend has found passion and happiness in her life through her art. Who woulda thought? <BR/><BR/>Many years ago I met a young woman who had aspirations of saving lives through medicine who ended up making people laugh and smile through art. I only wish I could be there in person to see it all. <BR/><BR/>As an artist you should never take crticism of your art personaly. Success is not how quickly your art sells, it's about how YOU feel about your work. Forget the others. You like colors, go for it. By the way, where can an old fool find your artwork?

So here it is in simple terms:<BR/><BR/>Some people find it easier to comment on the one negative instead of the many different positives. To people like that (who think of the glass half empty instead of half full), I say "Go tell it to someone who cares." I think your painting is fab.<BR/><BR/>Sweet dreams :)<BR/><BR/>-CandaceCandacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03746461433495511549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19440114.post-75106357140979200632008-01-08T17:48:00.000-08:002008-01-08T17:48:00.000-08:00I soooooo know who wrote the "nice legs" comment -...I soooooo know who wrote the "nice legs" comment - the person was very reluctant to write it, but I encouraged him/her and I'm glad to see it's still having a positive effect a few years later. On the other hand, I'd like to wring the neck of the person who wrote the mean comment. My sisterly protective instincts just kicked in. Maybe we need a handwriting analysis to figure out who it was and then start sending lots of multi-colorful things to him/her. Just a thought.<BR/><BR/>LamyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19440114.post-41427050247276293612008-01-08T12:49:00.000-08:002008-01-08T12:49:00.000-08:00Cynjay- you can always make me laugh.Laura and CW-...Cynjay- you can always make me laugh.<BR/><BR/>Laura and CW- You're so right. Art is soooo subjective. It still hurts, though, when somebody disses our stuff. It's like they're attacking my soul, man! And, uh, giant ashtray? Puh-leeze. <BR/><BR/>Funny thing, Laura, is that I did sell a ton of paintings during that art show. So, someone out there likes color.<BR/><BR/>Kimberly L- you're my kind of girl. Love bright colors! Which is probably why most of my outfits look like I jacked them from Vegas showgirls. Tacky? Or artistic? If it were up to me, I'd paint my entire house shocking pink. Hate those homeowners associations!<BR/><BR/>EveDisco Mermaidshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16749764215612594204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19440114.post-47822476307450081332008-01-08T12:47:00.000-08:002008-01-08T12:47:00.000-08:00Yes, opinions are subjective.

I think a guestbook is a place for guests to sign, not give a critique. <BR/><BR/>Kimberly LynnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19440114.post-45749976615747698422008-01-08T11:19:00.000-08:002008-01-08T11:19:00.000-08:00The creative pursuits are subjective to the tastes...The creative pursuits are subjective to the tastes of the audience.<BR/><BR/>Example: I LOVE STOMP!

Better yet, I have several bolts of fluorescent orange, yellow, pink, and green fabric sitting in my office right now. <BR/><BR/>Let’s make him a colorful turban and cinch it at the neck . . . tightly.<BR/><BR/>Love your painting!<BR/><BR/>Kimberly LynnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19440114.post-57464445698581247282008-01-08T04:19:00.000-08:002008-01-08T04:19:00.000-08:00Aw man, you're a writer *and* a talented illustrat...Aw man, you're a writer *and* a talented illustrator? I hate people like you. OK, not really. But I am insanely jealous of people like you. I want to be multi-talented, too.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I try to keep in mind the whole different strokes for different folks thing. Someone else is going to look at other paintings and say, "Too drab." Then he'll look at the joy and colors in yours and say, "Now, here's someone who knows how to capture life! How much does this painting cost?"laurasalashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13807781795919555208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19440114.post-74236036146091915092008-01-07T13:55:00.000-08:002008-01-07T13:55:00.000-08:00Totally hot, adorable, and by the looks of the pai...Totally hot, adorable, and by the looks of the paintbrush, amazingly talented. <BR/><BR/>Eve looks pretty good too!CJ Omololuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15691702701853775480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19440114.post-3436155076883819472008-01-07T11:32:00.000-08:002008-01-07T11:32:00.000-08:00Let's leave lots of comments to each other on my p...Let's leave lots of comments to each other on my post so it looks as if I have tons of fans commenting!<BR/><BR/>EveDisco Mermaidshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16749764215612594204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19440114.post-90546863453336278272008-01-07T11:31:00.000-08:002008-01-07T11:31:00.000-08:00So YOU'RE the man who hates lots of colors!
