I was looking at the purple field painting just the other day and hoping you are doing well. <br /><br />Part of me says just what you do - and part says I should thank this person for startling me into a different state of being and questioning. carrie jacobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14873372843804612246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-848088465428671336.post-33051550303225590992013-12-09T22:15:13.990-05:002013-12-09T22:15:13.990-05:00As for your friend's "challenges..."...As for your friend's "challenges..."<br /><br />For me it comes back to this: One should not and need not tell someone something that person already knows. What is the point? (Except to cause grief and negativity?) Neither can one nor should one judge another according to ones own habits and preferences.

Asking questions that batter ones psyche is quite another matter.<br /><br />We as artists are constantly being judged, but if I want to hear a critique, I prefer to ask for one rather than have it thrust upon me. I've always felt the work will out; i.e.,if it's strong enough and good enough and original enough, it's going to stand out.Patricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10722805078667526468noreply@blogger.com
