So impressed by the speed with which you produce so much all the time - pictures, words, music...<BR/><BR/>Yes, I'm really enjoying the Steiner (although I'm only at the beginning - there's so much in it, and so many bits that I relate to - the bits that make you feel like you've come home).<BR/><BR/>And yes, you express it so well - that communication should be a fundamental and emotive thing, not an academic exercise. And maybe not quite like coming home, more like the flash and comfort of recognition so that flying off to the next space is possible. That's what your teaching makes me feel like.<BR/><BR/>re 2 Heads<BR/>I just posted 2 Heads 1 & 2 Heads2 on the blog. I cut the resolution down so I could post it, but notice that when clicked on 2 Heads 1 to make it bigger, it looks awful. Maybe it's because it's only A5 in the original, don't know. <BR/><BR/>Dai, I'm flattered that you like it. You're welcome to have it. When I meet you, I'll bring it, but it's only a page in a sketch book. It has been important to me though. I'm not sure why it was so important but I knew it was so I printed out a copy, plus a copy of 2 Heads 2 which arrived sometime later and had them on the wall of my office in Oxford. I looked at them so I could work hard enough to escape from my job into part time work which would give me time to draw/paint. They were my inspiration and I've done it - I've got to this space where I can paint. And I've found you as my teacher. The chances were a thousand to one - ....<BR/><BR/>I'll start on the exercises you've given me tomorrow (or maybe tonight) and will post soon.<BR/><BR/>I'm appreciating your words on balance. My pictures have often ended up quite different from their beginnings because I've needed to balance either colour or shape, but haven't really known what I've been doing. I've been aware of the need, and then have proceeded via trial and error.<BR/><BR/>I'm looking forward to trying the sketches like you suggest.<BR/><BR/>I'm going to the magic bit next.<BR/>AXAngiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00614167394450384585noreply@blogger.com
