I've given you a BFF Gold Card on my blog - I'm so happy to have you for a "Blogging Friend!" ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10818795902981871173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7500753812112751553.post-19740063110821979712008-08-04T19:46:00.000-07:002008-08-04T19:46:00.000-07:00Wow!

It is truly spectacular and not at all a "ho-hum flower". You have a real talent, and I'm enjoying watching it develop.<BR/><BR/>Ernie<BR/><A HREF="http://gypsygoldstudio.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">Gypsy Gold Studio</A>Ernie Hendrixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00910070163714342483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7500753812112751553.post-6244474696787736712008-08-03T19:00:00.000-07:002008-08-03T19:00:00.000-07:00I love your red flower painting! it pops out and s...I love your red flower painting! it pops out and says here I am! <BR/><BR/>I did not start to paint until AFTER my breakdown! It's as if by becoming that vulnerable, I was able to touch my artistic soul and it spoke only to me. I was blessed by a doctor who believed completely in me and encouraged and insisted I paint my feelings, even if they were ugly. I am thinking about your friend and her panic. She needs to take that OUT of herself and put it somewhere, whether painting, journaling, gardening, whatever...somehow, that energy must be transformed into something she can relate to on the heart level and provide movement from the stuck place of panic she feels within.<BR/><BR/>So yes, offer her a paintbrush!L'Adelaidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10725322054223364858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7500753812112751553.post-10720430795327955872008-08-02T16:04:00.000-07:002008-08-02T16:04:00.000-07:00Amen, sister.

I write my own books because if it doesn't satisfy the reason I write, why bother?<BR/><BR/>BTW, I love that painting. The flower is so bold, so saturated. And the blue stripes going in different directions add tension. At least, to this untrained eye.<BR/><BR/>If your friend isn't into painting, journaling might also help.Ruth Hull Chatlienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08797146501548509911noreply@blogger.com
