I am grateful for my first (and second) official blog comment(s).<BR/>To P2B: I would love to see your work. Please feel free to share images of your work. I have been experimenting with ink and acrylics with interesting results and I do enjoy narrative art. I am still trying to understand the chemistry of ink and acrylics. Maybe my self-portrait will be done in this medium (its a goal of '08).<BR/>Concerning Picabia, I observed some if his work and I can see a connection, but I had not considered it until your comment. He had such versatility, and I really like his use of geometric shapes and values. I am most of all intrigued by Picabia's surreal roots, which is an area that i have not yet fully explored.Michéle P.

You are certainly diverse and prolific. I detected maybe a hint of Picabia? <BR/> Concerning length of time, there was a fellow named Captain Beefheart (a musician as well as a painter) who, when asked how long it took to compose and record a peice replied that no one knows how long it took to paint the Mona Lisa, yet that hasn't affected peoples' perception of the painting.<BR/> I work primarily in pen and ink or pencil (I am biologically inadequate to express with a brush) and some things I do in a day. Other things will take up to 2 years due to the narrative quality of the composition.<BR/> Well, just thought I'd sign in on this and say that I agree with your credo. I, too, am happiest when in the process of creating, sort of like I'm using my art to barter for the air I breathe. It's a nice, and, I hope fair, trade-off.<BR/><BR/><BR/> Tomorrowly,<BR/> p2bp2bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04400623822652157915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860877951936491961.post-11584985498655588442008-01-03T18:50:00.000-06:002008-01-03T18:50:00.000-06:00Michele, you are an inspiration to me, and I love ...Michele, you are an inspiration to me, and I love your work!
