We are still emailing each other, hahaha! <br /><br />I am very excited and I usually am lazy with housework but I was pottering around like a good hostess, making sure nothing is out of place. Everywhere except the dining room which is a mess :) I am trying to finish the next room in the tribal house before Rosanna arrives :). Then the 2nd floor will be complete. After she sees it, I will post pictures :).<br /><br />About the earring, I will always treasure it. I am thinking of what spectacular item I can make it into. <br /><br />Hehe, I just have mental picture of me wearing an Indian screen on 1 ear, looking for Helene wearing a Tree of Life lamp on her other ear.Sans!https://www.blogger.com/profile/07142349451568183257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5254510705233595277.post-63090095956185412542010-07-25T15:53:37.417+08:002010-07-25T15:53:37.417+08:00Jayne, you bet your bottom dollar we will meet :)....Jayne, you bet your bottom dollar we will meet :).

I totally get it now about the insecurities. That's why it can never be bridged. An artist paints something that she feels is not what she wants in her head. An audience sees the painting but not the artist's mind. And the audience in turn, forms a picture of the picture in her mind and with that, comes up with her opinion of the painting. Since the artist cannot also see the audience's mind, she will never really know what the audience "sees" in the painting! Which results in the insecurities. <br /><br />Shoot, I need a strong cup of coffee now :)<br /><br />THANK YOU Betsy,for your insight! I love discussions like this :).Sans!https://www.blogger.com/profile/07142349451568183257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5254510705233595277.post-12027269654879171402010-07-24T10:15:11.086+08:002010-07-24T10:15:11.086+08:00Gemma, thank you , my dear:).

I think it is wonderfully done.<br /><br />The earing story is so moving.

(I had to turn my fans on when I watched your Akbar movie sequences!):)You are so lucky to have such a friend! Before you know it you will have a whole gallery of Royal paintings for your Palace!:):)<br />I can totally relate to the insecure artist thing.....it's just that it is so difficult to make the painting look like what we see in our own head! The audience just sees whatever we DID manage to show, so they are entitled to their opinion! But the artist knows better....:)I think it will always be that way!Daydreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06170115485686244907noreply@blogger.com
