The Fears of Art

July 27th, 2006 with 10 comments.

I’ve always believed that talent, artistic or not, is learned and not randomly granted to some and not others. To me it’s both an intrinsic and constantly honed trait that is often neglected, especially when the specific talent has to do with art.

There comes a point where artists believe the end result almost seems impossible, yet in your mind’s eye it’s easy to envision the final piece as an accomplishment and not a grueling journey to your destination.

Taking a break

July 14th, 2006 with 3 comments.

If you couldn’t tell by the lack of writing, I’m once again (maybe twice now) consumed by life’s responsibilities that I haven’t had much time to commit to this “blog” as I’ve had in the past.

The lack of TLC is attributed to several things, many of which are related to working a 40-hour work week as well as taking courses in the evening. Mix that in with everything else and you can begin to see why there hasn’t been much activity here in over a month.
