Yes, one of the reason I am passionate about painting is that its a never ending learning experience.<BR/><BR/>So true, Ed, you never arrive- its all about the journey!<BR/><BR/>That's interesting Petra! Which painting(s) did you feel that way about?<BR/><BR/>Hi Sheila. My choice of Zigzag was random (I think) but it does have a different look than some of my more recent things. I still think a lot about that intersection of the emotional and intellectual in painting.Deborah Parishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02242296435365350267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2838632489934306281.post-68665808494812733882009-02-04T04:54:00.000-06:002009-02-04T04:54:00.000-06:00Deborah, I just realised that "Zig Zag" is from 20...Deborah, I just realised that "Zig Zag" is from 2007 and therefore not a recent painting. How strange, but there is something adventurous and exciting about it.I think it invites one in to it in a seductive kind of way. Why did you choose this one as your painting today?Sheila Vaughanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11202418013915704272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2838632489934306281.post-2123777592458624432009-02-04T04:49:00.000-06:002009-02-04T04:49:00.000-06:00That's very interesting Deborah.

Do you think this is what is happening here? I think this latest painting is rather different and quite emotional. I really like it.Sheila Vaughanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11202418013915704272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2838632489934306281.post-87703435697680524592009-02-04T01:42:00.000-06:002009-02-04T01:42:00.000-06:00Think about a staircase: every step starts with an...Think about a staircase: every step starts with an edge. It means growth, but I also hear your uncertainty. I often feel the same way, always questioning my direction, motives and results. But in the end, these are answers only you-- the artist--can answer. Even though we support each other greatly in our artistic journey through blogs, Facebook and the like, in the end it's a solitary road, where the journey is the reward.Ed Terpeninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08211416674089451891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2838632489934306281.post-73702267506016809012009-02-03T18:30:00.000-06:002009-02-03T18:30:00.000-06:00Hm Deborah, exactly the same thing I wanted to tel...Hm Deborah, exactly the same thing I wanted to tell you already last week. There is a shift in your work suddenly, different colours, a different light. I think it is always like this - the one who stands outside the work will realize it first - the one who is inside the work is mostly the last one to notice because we are much too involved. But that's okay too.<BR/>And it is exciting!<BR/>I am very curious to see what comes in future from your easel!<BR/><BR/>Warm regards, PetraAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15871565282521663165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2838632489934306281.post-15975391804680855692009-02-03T17:36:00.000-06:002009-02-03T17:36:00.000-06:00on the edge is the most exciting place to be creat...on the edge is the most exciting place to be creatively cause we know we are moving into new territory, as yet undiscovered and unspoken by the creator.
