You write well, but must learn to express your thoughts in 500-600 words or less. A blog post of such length needs to be broken up with sub-heads as a minimum requirement. In this age of diminished attention span, your well written and highly personal thoughts will lose you readers before they cursor down. All this is written with respect.<br />JohnAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17547685917604462669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2322229821749182210.post-5321809218444443702015-08-12T16:36:49.879-07:002015-08-12T16:36:49.879-07:00Oh very much!

Another dear friend thinks doing 18" x 24" is small! So there are all sorts. Some big picture artists have trouble sitting to paint small.robertsloan2arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02598847116529877475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2322229821749182210.post-7828269574795484872015-08-12T15:27:43.340-07:002015-08-12T15:27:43.340-07:00I can relate to many things in your essay, Robert,...I can relate to many things in your essay, Robert, especially your description of living with a disability and finding solace, joy, and a sense of accomplishment within your comfort zone. I work around physical, sometimes disabling, pain (fibro and mixed connective tissue disease), and I do not know what I would do if I could not make my art. I happen to love and appreciate small format art, so I would be the last person to lecture anyone about "going large". Simple art can be elegant, small art can make a huge statement. Your forum buddy must be a major fan of the large format!Pumibelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03854229255635836828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2322229821749182210.post-30637913441254012552015-02-11T16:28:44.485-08:002015-02-11T16:28:44.485-08:00Purr thank you.

I'm having a good time here, my life's better than it's ever been because at last I have treatment for it, medicaion, home health care and not desperately moving across the country to stay with anyone who can spare a room to someone with no income. Ten years of homelessness much of it without access to my prescriptions is enough to leave me very glad to have what I do.robertsloan2arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02598847116529877475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2322229821749182210.post-15694325212572576262015-02-11T12:48:13.647-08:002015-02-11T12:48:13.647-08:00Invisible diseases rob us of so much, but so many ...Invisible diseases rob us of so much, but so many don't comprehend the theft we experience.

It was inspired a decade ago by a lovely colored pencils painting of a small black cat sitting demurely in Bast pose surrounded by large breakable vases. The artist, Bet Borgeson, explained how she'd used one vase to design all the vases and put the whole thing together in her sketch to create the image. I looked at her painting and laughed. There was no way a cat would sit that perfectly among all those round rolling things without gleefully swatting or leaning on them and starting the domino crash. So I thought of my version - white cat, delicate crystal, see the pink paw pads through the crystal - and a real moment of seeing my own cat stretch and lean on a box of pastels gently shoving it toward the edge of the drafting table. Cat didn't even notice how far it was teetering, was just stretching and pressing on the box for leverage. <br /><br />But if I get it right the distance from the scene is just enough you get the jolt of maybe being able to gently catch the pitcher and remove the cat carefully! Provided she trusts you. I'll still need the right model. Some paintings get literal years of premeditation because theyre complex.robertsloan2arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02598847116529877475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2322229821749182210.post-38719345527488445542015-02-11T09:57:40.629-08:002015-02-11T09:57:40.629-08:00Well, Rob your descriptive skills are such that I&...Well, Rob your descriptive skills are such that I'm seeing your "Cat Among the Breakables" painting and you haven't even done it yet! Of course, I also have A Cat, white, who skirts things delicately most of the time, so I know the associated fears. I like that you've found your life largely in art, that it's been good for you. My father took up art when his childhood illness (osteomylitis) shifted his farmboy ramblings to being bedbound. He, too, overcame limitations others placed on him; last thing he did before taking his last nap was to put down his sketchbook and pencil. At age 96. Keep at it - your way!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
