Realism is not for everyone and neither is abstraction or expressionism. I am very grateful for that as I think we probably push each other along in our own needs. I know for me, those who can sketch help me keep the noise out. That is where I have the problem with painting/drawing realism - I can't eliminate the noise in the grand scheme of things.<br/><br/>And I do adore your cakes. Draw them bigger, too! This just might be a new venue for you. <br/><br/>Thanks Cris and have a wonderful day! Cris, you are so right! Realism is not for everyone and neither is abstraction or expressionism.

Oh this is great...you are going to love the exhibit and maybe we will get a peek on your blog?<br/><br/>And the Chihuly exhibit sounds wonderful. Another peek, maybe?<br/><br/>Thanks for helping me understand the exhibit. I guess my time in Oklahoma makes me think in different ways...you know mind kind of goes towards Bartlesville! :) Hi Babs!

Thanks for helping me understand the exhibit. I guess my time in Oklahoma makes me think in different ways…you know mind kind of goes towards Bartlesville! :)

Funny how some, like me, like realism and some like well... not realism. But it all adds spice to life. If everyone was the same then it would be so boring.<br/>I have been having fun with the cakes I have been drawing. For some reason they have been calling to me to do and I thought I couldnt do them and ignored that calling. hmm that left brain side needs kicking in the rear. lol Once I got into them they just kept flowing. <br/>Thanks for sharing the drawings.

But when I start, I know why I do not do them. No satisfaction...I miss that internal rush! :)<br/><br/>Your week sounds like a lot of fun. Is the Phillips Collection there as in Phillips Oil? There is the Phillips Collection here in Washington, DC which is housed in the Duncan Phillips home who founded the collection. I love going there, too. They really bring together some excellent exhibits.<br/><br/>As you know I also love living in my own little world...all cozy and messy with paint. Sometimes, I enjoy going out and doing things like that depending on my companions.<br/><br/>I know you are going to have a great week, and I am eager to hear about all of your fun.<br/><br/>Thanks Babs... ps I love long comments!

Naw,I don’t really enjoy doing them either, as you probably guessed,,,but maybe I should do them more often,,,as it’s surely good discipline.

Are there lots of people through?<br/><br/>It is lovely you feel similar about realistic drawings. You are right, I also feel confined by these realistic sketches and drawings. I am so happy there are those who are fulfilled doing them because they do speak to many people. But I just do not get that complete feeling I get when I do more free flowing, abstract work. My brain truly relaxes then.<br/><br/>You are right, I am ready to pick up something with some paint on it! :)<br/><br/>Thanks Dianne! Hi Dianne,

I feel in the space of maths and geometry, very left brain and not at all creative. Pick up your brush and slap on the paint!
