Although I am new to this creative journey I could relate to her feelings. I sometimes stop myself from pouring out dark stuff although I know it is a way to get emotions out. I am sure that stems from fear. You and Kelly have inspired me to let it all hang out! Looking forward to following your work! :)Cathy Buetihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09176782992604138092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1445827576146085617.post-39436005113087537212010-09-03T06:02:31.339-07:002010-09-03T06:02:31.339-07:00I agree with Jeanne--I love to see the artist'...I agree with Jeanne--I love to see the artist's soul in a painting--they're showing a part of themselves that they may not have ever expressed openly--so paint what's in your heart.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16471868216912351266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1445827576146085617.post-23188027550917597802010-09-02T18:02:49.984-07:002010-09-02T18:02:49.984-07:00You go for it and whatever comes out is good.

Lots of words or just one. I guess they can look "ugly" but what goes into them is....me. I never feel as good on a day when I can't journal or create, I do know that.

I always try to tell a story with my work. In fact whatever I am painting tells a short story of something or other. I want them to be alive. Your work is great!
