Come and see me when you're nearby.<br />The Forget-me-nots are a May flower,<br />and are a weed, really. But so pretty. I'd like to see what you'd create.<br /><br />XOXOXOXBarbaraBarbara Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01342757136485853833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855482737695202500.post-59009116138260683382009-05-26T20:22:21.754-07:002009-05-26T20:22:21.754-07:00Don't be afraid...

You've got it, and I hope that helps you feel better after your surgery.<br /><br />Take care,<br /><br />BarbaraBarbara Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01342757136485853833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855482737695202500.post-20297482140624688132009-05-24T20:40:14.741-07:002009-05-24T20:40:14.741-07:00Hi David,

But fear is a bit like that. An ugly problem requiring quick action. And there's the answer. Action!<br /><br />I admire your work so much, it's hard to imagine you ever experiencing a negative mind bug. I see you sitting in the stands with everyone holding posters of your amazing work. You are just too good. And you're so welcome.<br /><br />Take care,<br /><br />BarbaraBarbara Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01342757136485853833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855482737695202500.post-82377579331594384482009-05-24T15:58:42.719-07:002009-05-24T15:58:42.719-07:00This painting is so bright and cheery & reflec...This painting is so bright and cheery & reflective of the encouraging words in your post. Thank you, Barbara! We all need that reminder to stay positive and take advantage of our blessings.

The feeling must be stepped on and crushed like a bug! Not that I'm a psycho bug crusher you understand, but sometimes it proves necessary. Thanks for the award!

I couldn't allow myself more paper until I'd finished that sheet. Now because of the kind of work you do, I buy lots of canvasses at once, and enjoy the freedom that gives me. We can't go backwards, just like my dog Zoey, forward, forward, forward. I look at it this way. Aren't we lucky to be able to paint all the time now. Lots of people never get to that point.<br /><br />xoxoxoBarbaraBarbara Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01342757136485853833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855482737695202500.post-90676671414322527842009-05-24T00:55:00.484-07:002009-05-24T00:55:00.484-07:00Such wise words, Barbara!

I love it.<br />For years I was waiting for the right time, the right place, the right subject until at last I realized that was rubbish - excuses for being afraid of failing, if not only for laziness. <br />And nowadays I really regret not having concentrated on painting much earlier, having wasted so much time on other things - who knows where I could be with it now. Having started painting on a regular daily basis was the best action I have taken in years!Liza Hirsthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18024630462493582644noreply@blogger.com
