Carrie, after I read your comments I went over to the North River Arts Society site and saw this quote, "If you're not making mistakes, you're not taking risks, and that means you're not going anywhere. The key is to make the mistakes faster than the competition, so you have more chances to learn and win." - John W. Holt, Jr.<BR/>While beating my competition is not at the forefront...well maybe it is because I see my competition as being myself, I think he is right on the money about the mistakes. I thought it was appropriate to mention.

I have tracked back through your blog and I am entranced by your art, particularly the richness of your palette and the way you capture light and shadow. I lived in Boston for years and recognize Joe's - would have, even if you didn't say where it was - recognize it because of the buildings, but more because of the feeling the painting gives me. It makes me remember walking down that street on a dry, sunny day. ... It's good to struggle with paintings, I think. Whenever I do, I learn.carrie jacobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14873372843804612246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6826785015229773066.post-60679886263433900822009-03-29T03:42:00.000-07:002009-03-29T03:42:00.000-07:00this is fabadabadoo. and so glad about the 'eat at...this is fabadabadoo. and so glad about the 'eat at joe's well deserved i say.soulbrushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16879115279499153124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6826785015229773066.post-33249659375556499362009-03-28T20:52:00.000-07:002009-03-28T20:52:00.000-07:00Paula, I already loved Eat at Joe's but this kitty...Paula, I already loved Eat at Joe's but this kitty is really nice, too.
