Not long after I started blogging, I realized that, just like making art, it's about the process. Essentially, I do it for myself. And that's a good thing - after only a scattering of posts in recent months the number of page views has declined since years past when I was a more diligent blogger. So, I remain content to express myself and am incredibly thankful for every visitor who does stop by.
Now, I must say that I live for comments like Kim's (the post below). Knowing that I have made a significant connection to an art friend is the kind of unexpected reward that fills my spirit with trust, gratitude and empathy.
This photograph was the final in-progress before assembly for a mixed media canvas. For some reason I love capturing elements along the way not knowing precisely how they will come together, though I do have an idea/plan! What a metaphor for life, art, blogging, breathing in amazement every step during the ultimate process, the journey that is life. Thank you, Kim, for reminding me that it is possible to fly without wings!
Comments
Re blogging. I notice more and more of my core blogger friends are posting less frequently even though I remain an almost daily blogger. I've found by joining different challeges I make new blog friends and followers and the comments come. I do feel spoiled by this, but it has also been my encouragement that has made me take off and fly as an artist! So when they are few I feel the loss; when they are more I feel appreciated and enjoyed (my art if not Me exactly) and that is really what I am after.
Fun talking to you today!
Keep sharing your art as it is quite wonderful!
love the photo, just perfect textures.. bella!

It is sometimes so hard to get around to visiting all the lovely blogs and leaving comments ... a day just has not enough hours. One could almost live in their computer chair, LOL!
Wishing you a wonderful Sunday!
Hugs,
