I love this post, but I ...<EM>If you were a painter???</EM> I love this post, but I had to huff and puff at the first line. You ARE a painter. How do you define painter? There can't be anything about public acclaim or selling your work in the definition (otherwise Van Gogh wasn't a painter, and if there EVER was a painter, it was Vincent Van Gogh). And I bet you'd fit any other definition you could seriously put forward.<BR/><BR/>You're a painter, gal, it's well up under your skin by now. Too late to deny it. Just like I am, and Linda, and many others. Some of us are more professional than others (like Vikki) or polished in the final work, but that's not essential to the process or the life of a painter. Painting is personal, first.<BR/><BR/>And to my mind you've already been painting the TRUTH as you see it. And the more colorful it's been, the better I've liked it. Brava.<BR/><BR/>PS - you won a CD CoverGrenouillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16781552127989900151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7500753812112751553.post-13907794964149282712009-03-13T20:31:00.000-07:002009-03-13T20:31:00.000-07:00beautiful, odd chick....
