This blog of mine was a what if. One that was thought of, dreamed of, considered, mulled over, discarded, feared and finally started nearly 2 years ago. It was a way to keep my name out there in the art world. And a way to insure that I actually worked in the studio rather than just dreaming of doing so. Can't very well have an art blog and not have new work to show, right?
What if? What if I chosen to not start an art blog? The answer to that is simple. I would have missed out on making friendships with some wonderful artists. Some live fairly close by. Some live on the other side of the world. Seems distance is no hinderance in the blogging world.
Today is Thanksgiving Day here in the States. It seems appropriate to ponder a few what ifs, but even more appropriate to say Thank You for discovering this little blog of mine. Thank You for your comments, your encouragement, your sharing spirit. May your day be filled with lots of love and laughter...and art!
today

Hi Jennifer I'm glad you followed the what if and began your blog and shared with the world - it has been such a delight and a pleasure to discover you and your work. Best wishes for you and yours over the holiday time and thank you for your kind words! F
ReplyDeleteeb - Ooh! I hope you share the results of your rusty "what if". There's always a thrill when opening a rusty bundle since it has a creative mind of its own.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, the cranberries not used to make sauce keep calling to me each trip into the pantry. They whisper that they're tired of just sitting around in the dark, in a bag, bored, wanting freedom, wanting to be useful too. My husband doesn't know it yet, but the cranberries will be a bubbling today...in the studio, in a pot, on a hot plate...a la India Flint...wrapped up in organza and cotton and left to stew overnight. What if a few blueberries are added to the brew? Hmmm...
Fiona - The pleasure of your having discovered my blog is all mine, I assure you. It's wonderful to find kindred spirits...even if they are on the other side of the world! Enjoy the busy holiday season. Hope to see you next year!
ReplyDeleteoh oh - this is exciting!
ReplyDeletemy discovery was that the cranberries want to BE bubbled and cooked up - always winging it...
