For everything there is a season, and right now is just not the season for art. You are wise not to give up the workshop though, as it will undoubtedly be part of the path back to the art season.<br>Kristin Lhttp://www.kristinlaflamme.com/musingsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5872694151254325663.post-49872429487933183192010-03-26T07:16:53.000-04:002010-03-26T07:16:53.000-04:00I'm looking forward to hearing about the works...I'm looking forward to hearing about the workshop, I am there in spirit.

Not sure if this helps.<br>Dee Mallonhttp://www.deemallon.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5872694151254325663.post-62182534217048973672010-03-25T05:25:28.000-04:002010-03-25T05:25:28.000-04:00Your last two sentences have been my daily mantra ...Your last two sentences have been my daily mantra for the past year. My art has changed but you know what they say about change. The crow picture reminded me of when I held a wounded and bleeding crow in my hand..a fierce black and red engine thrumming with fear. I like to think your picture was how he looked the moment he was released to the wild again by the wildlife rehab folks.<br>debhttp://morewgalo.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5872694151254325663.post-47866857426920051492010-03-21T09:50:37.000-04:002010-03-21T09:50:37.000-04:00funny you have been on my mind recently as if some...funny you have been on my mind recently as if something big might be happening. the crow painting is amazing!
