Life constantly tests<BR/>this practice, but strong people <BR/>respond with a more forceful attachment to what works in the realm of creating happiness. <BR/><BR/>Your paintings do that for me. They<BR/>make me feel so delighted. <BR/><BR/>BarbaraBarbara Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01342757136485853833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855482737695202500.post-67835933231614171712008-10-03T00:52:00.000-07:002008-10-03T00:52:00.000-07:00I can relate so much to what you wrote here!

The university won't mind the changes the sitter requires. So make her happy (within reason).<BR/><BR/>Barbara<BR/><BR/>I'm sure my comment problem was a temporary glitch.

Well -- in one way who<BR/>cares what people think -- if it's just their thinking you're<BR/>worried about. Now buying -- that's a whole other animal. I don't pretend to understand it. I'm just delighted each and every time it happens.<BR/><BR/>BarbaraBarbara Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01342757136485853833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855482737695202500.post-48230960326960474052008-10-01T09:04:00.000-07:002008-10-01T09:04:00.000-07:00Hi Barbara,Not sure why the trouble leaving commen...Hi Barbara,<BR/>Not sure why the trouble leaving comments, but I always appreciate yours. That particular portrait is giving me fits. The subject is asking me to basically make her look like someone else. The commissioner is a University, but I'm trying to please the subjects, too. Sigh. I'm traveling right now so won't likely post until Monday.. talk with you soon..SusanSusan Carlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06110529181768705593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855482737695202500.post-7817208096478473192008-10-01T08:07:00.000-07:002008-10-01T08:07:00.000-07:00just what i needed to hear today.

Very odd perspective coming out... i should say multiple perspectives. still trying to decide if i like it, or if people will think it is just 'wrong'. <BR/>ok, back to work now...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855482737695202500.post-49492198914324359162008-10-01T05:48:00.000-07:002008-10-01T05:48:00.000-07:00Thanks Sylvia,I really appreciate your thoughts.Yo...Thanks Sylvia,<BR/><BR/>I really appreciate your thoughts.<BR/>Your paintings are amazingly cool too.<BR/><BR/>BarbaraBarbara Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01342757136485853833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855482737695202500.post-35624758686194636762008-10-01T05:01:00.000-07:002008-10-01T05:01:00.000-07:00love your really cool colours... your portraits wi...love your really cool colours... your portraits with your colours...so coolSylvia Jenstadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14791980281443739461noreply@blogger.com
