It came as a complete surprise to me when I learned several years ago that even the great master painters felt free to just slap a coat of white paint on a failed idea and start fresh! They never would have known if the idea worked or not if they hadn't tried. Even more important, they knew when it was time to let go and start over. :) Somehow I found that very encouraging in my own work - helped me let go of my need for first-draft perfection. :)Carolan Iveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11964204665748083341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2869464170817632469.post-50091908245098172912009-02-05T15:56:00.000-05:002009-02-05T15:56:00.000-05:00Congratulations on the awards and nominations {{{{...Congratulations on the awards and nominations {{{{Sharon}}}}}!

The creative process is definitely similar, and I know I felt that way a few times when I was re-painting my room, which looks fabulous now.<BR/><BR/>Congratulations on the nomination! :)Karinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00507549045262003945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2869464170817632469.post-57054550416222390942009-02-04T11:25:00.000-05:002009-02-04T11:25:00.000-05:00Wonderful analogy!I love what paint does for the h...Wonderful analogy!<BR/>I love what paint does for the house. We do the choosing of several colors, swatch them on the wall of the room we are doing and see what happens. What the sun will do, time of day, if we can live with a color called Cargo Pants or White Raisin. Then we choose and call our painting team. This trio of awesome women can get more stuff done in three days than we ever could in a month. And no spills, splashes, drips or over paint onto the ceiling. And we get to enjoy the after effects. I love color and what it does to change the mood of our home. And the look on visitors' faces when they see what we've done. Then they hire our painters and get to have the color choosing fun. <BR/>Congratulations on the nomination.Vickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15581178162502696838noreply@blogger.com
