Thanks San, I think there is some kind of analytical side to me, although it is not all that strong. I spent many years trying to live out that part of me in various ways, only to have it make a mess. I read the title of a book somewhere which was </em>Be Yourself, Everyone Else Is Taken<em> I thought that title was one of the best pieces of advice anyone could have. No surprise at all!

It's very emotional and personal and quite a teacher. When I look at your drawing, and then your painting, it seems the first stimulates your analytical side, the part of you that questions, and wants to solve puzzles. When I look at your painting, I see a watery immersion in impulse. I like both sides of you very much. : ) Kim, I’m sure you won’t be surprised at all to learn that color is a big thing for me.

It could be as having tea is a big deal in Paris...you can have tea just as easily as in London. Oh, I do look forward to your door posting today. I hope you had fun drawing it. Color does change a drawing a lot, but there are also other things which might also be a catalyst for some people...like texture, pattern, form, etc. I find it interesting to contemplate what takes artists deeper into their work. Isn't that just the greatest thing about having a creative license? You can do what is right for you at the time. It is also wonderful when you just do it without thinking...just allowing your creativity to take over. Thanks Suki! Suki, I never thought about a cup of tea.
