I didn't like the results I got when I first started painting. <br /><br />Now that I'm trying to break out of my realistic style, I don't like the results much either, but I'm gonna keep trying. Otherwise, I'll never know. <br /><br />Love you're comment about being an intensely practical person in an artist's body. I've often said I was a business person in the business of art rather than an artist doing business.

I have not doubt our styles will evolve. How differently they'll be, is anyone's guess!Laure Ferlitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14966163843633158039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6711781124266002702.post-9352254950741278482014-02-14T10:30:47.247-05:002014-02-14T10:30:47.247-05:00You're wise to recognize the "why" y...You're wise to recognize the "why" you do something and that while you appreciate your sister's approach, it's not yours.

But I I'm not at all happy l with what I end up with when I do. What usually motivates me to paint is if I'm doing it for a purpose -- or for someone. I'm an intensely practical person in an artist's body -- or vice versa.ChrisJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550420299395301062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6711781124266002702.post-11912073510251818872014-02-11T17:06:39.283-05:002014-02-11T17:06:39.283-05:00another very enjoyable post Laure' - I like Ch...another very enjoyable post Laure' - I like Chris' take when he could not see those things, but felt them instead. That's pretty clever I reckon! It also was very humorous. Yours is more how I would portray the vision (if I could sketch/paint!) and they're both great processes of mind; well done both of you; a great team!Carole M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13261384312136535762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6711781124266002702.post-76365792153669237762014-02-11T16:58:20.028-05:002014-02-11T16:58:20.028-05:00Oh yes, I so agree on what you see isn't alway...Oh yes, I so agree on what you see isn't always what you sketch. ha...

Enjoyed your peaceful sketch - perhaps a bit more as the way it was. I often find myself wanting to paint realistically but I am not that type of artist. Maybe my style will change in time. Perhaps life happenings lead us to change how we see and interpret what is there or not. Anyway I always come away from your blog thinking more deeply about the painting process and what motivates one to paint. Thank you for sharing your thoughts as well.

I stick to the real stuff. My sister always tells a story and would have drawn Chris' version. To her there is always a story behind the picture whereas I am trying to keep the memory of the time I am there and not worrying about a story. I think her way is more fun and I enjoy it but it's not me and I can't draw it unless I am just using imagination with no picture in front of me.Timareehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15769047120660859743noreply@blogger.com
