I would like to hear if you think of that profile.

I would say, in your case, “Enterprising” is very similar to “Entrepreneur”.

Thanks San!

Looking again at my comment, I realize that I misnamed one of the attributes. It was "enterprising" not "entrepreneur". I guess there's a difference. But the name of the profile evades me.

Sometimes playing catch up is impossible...especially when your painting calls, right?<br/><br/>Yes, you really do have to be relaxed to be fair to yourself on any evaluation...always the challenge. I know when I first took it I also had some surprises...but I also have come to see where it really did evaluate me very well.<br/><br/>Thanks Cris...this is just an example of old work and how the tools I learned to use helped me evolve into some of the things I end up doing now.<br/><br/>Thanks Cris...and remember now is the time to relax.

Yes, you really do have to be relaxed to be fair to yourself on any evaluation…always the challenge. I know when I first took it I also had some surprises…but I also have come to see where it really did evaluate me very well.

Thanks Cris…this is just an example of old work and how the tools I learned to use helped me evolve into some of the things I end up doing now.

Thanks Cris…and remember now is the time to relax.

I am so behind in reading blogs.<br/>I took that test but I didnt think I was what it said I was. I didnt understand some of the questions. <br/>I was under to much stress at the time. I need to take it when I can think better. :)<br/>This work of yours is impressive. hard to look at very long tho. <br/>One can get a little dizzy. lol<br/>It would make a great scarf I think.

Intuitive...thought so. Judging...also thought so.<br/><br/>I would love to know the name of the other profile. I am always interested how personalities, psychology and social issues come to light in creative types. It is just an interesting thing for me personally.<br/><br/>Thanks San!

Introversion was slight. Judging was moderate. I'm supposed to be a spiritual counselor or a clergyperson or a writer, as I recall.<br/><br/>And I took another one--this was quite a few years ago--can't remember the name. That one said I was creative/counselor/entrepreneur. That seemed more in line with running a gallery and making paintings. Sometimes doing art presentations involves a bit of counseling. People need to be supported in their desire to treat themselves to something that's good for the soul. I’ve done a Myers Briggs, and yes intuition was prominent. Introversion was slight.

You know I think it is the post just before this one I spoke about Myers Briggs personality types. I am wondering how you might have come out on that evaluation. Have you done it? Do you know your type? I am so very sure intuition is a HUGE part of your personality and it shows in your art! :)<br/><br/>Thanks San!

My approach to art and life is more intuitive than pre-conceived I guess. For better or worse. Kim, your questions are always thought-provoking.

Please don't be but so impressed with the technical part of this. It is highly learned and uses tools. And for me, the process it the greatest joy...it is not completion! LOL<br/><br/>I also hit and miss, as you know. I love your latest painting a lot. I almost said something about the minimalism, but then changed it to simplicity. I just truly love it! But you know what it is also very, very Babs!<br/><br/>You have to be patient...you raised a daughter!<br/><br/>And isn't it nice you can choose just what you want to do when being creative? I think so!<br/><br/>Thanks Babs, your insights are always so helpful! Hi Babs!

You have to be patient…you raised a daughter!

And isn’t it nice you can choose just what you want to do when being creative? I think so!

My latest post was an exercise in trying to paint in more of a minimalist way, free, and loose. I did one time, years ago lose an entire weekend to a pencil drawing that was very precise,,structured,,tight. I didn't enjoy it all that much, but was determined to finish it,,and have never attempted having the paitence to do another.<br/>That's pretty much me in a nutshell. Not much patience,,,but I'm trying, (smile). Kim, I’m always amazed,(and impressed with) your precision work,as I am so much more like Suki,,,re: measuring, being exact,,ugh!
