We are big time into animals. Thanks for sharing your art experiences...Cindi<br />jchoppes[at]hotmail[dot]comwindycindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12094662150428102194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1120552267048688801.post-33105379002340510542013-03-22T17:11:11.925-04:002013-03-22T17:11:11.925-04:00These pages are outstanding!

It is a liquid that you put on your hands and it is like a glove but not and it is for people who are allergic to substances and they use this stuff and it protects. I use surgical gloves and this stuff. I forget the first word...maybe liquid. Anyway, what a process you went through. My blog is called Living Outside The Box for the very reason you describe. And yet when I study (2 BA 2 MA Ph.D) I am so rule bound. So I get ya so much. If that is who you are, so be it. G-d made you so that is who you are meant to be...don't change because your art is fantastic and comes from the pit obviously of who you are because it is mysteriously wonderful and unique. I love what you share about the internal journey you went through and the art process. one of the interesting posts of the day! Your art is intensely vibrant. The colors just penetrate. As someone who lives outside the box, I know for me it takes a few weeks to absorb things then boom...i'm off to the races. It is this way with workshops etc. because of being kinesthetic. Maybe same for you? We are interesting creatures, we artist people. Whatever you do...just do it! It is gorgeously fantasticismo, in my one person's opinion!

Your pages are beautiful and they seem to be meaningful to you which makes me happy. I prefer to believe that we first need to be in the box before we reach for what's out of it. Each and every step in my teaching is designed to lead students to find boundless opportunities for honest and intimate expression. 99% of the time it does exactly that. From my experience when it doesn't its due to great resistance. I consider my methods to be the complete opposite of asking "to follow rules". I do ask my students to trust me enough to lead them toward liberty of expression however uncomfortable and structured the way there may seem. Such retreats are of course designed to give us comfort and pure fun but also to provide us with a personal growth spurt. The key to achieving such a lofty goal is to allow any of the processes that are being introduced to us, to affect, move, and surprise us.

I know that once I let things percolate for awhile, especially when it was something that challenged me, I gain so much - and then, God willing, I can put that into words that others might relate to. BRAVO, girl. You done good. And - what a delight, sharing St. Martha's with you & Courtney - although we only passed in the hall, and were in different workshops, it was just a really good feeling to know you were right there, around the corner. I'm looking forward to seeing you & Courtney again, in 2014 ~ at AAJ.
