I was talking r...I agree completely: stubbornness.<br /><br />I was talking recently with Husband about how widespread availability of design programs on widely available computers has turned everyone into a designer.* Yet, when one hasn't learned the skills and patience that go into the process from the standpoint of what a human brain and body are capable of creating, then I'm uncertain about bestowing the title "artist." (One can be an accomplished designer without being an artist, if you get my drift.)<br /><br />One of the many things that impresses me about what you do, Lesli, is that it brooks no shortcuts: it is an art form at its most "old-fashioned," if you will; no native understanding of computer software makes it possible! One must do the work in order to produce the results, and again, shortcuts simply don't cut it!<br /><br />I admire your "stubbornness" and that of your fellow teachers and learners, and I am so very appreciative of your sharing some of what you've learned with us. It makes your accomplishments all the more significant when you show us how advanced they truly are! Thank you.<br /><br />* Sparked by my recent acquisition of the yearned for compendium on Charley Harper by Todd Oldham; this remarkable book about an equally remarkable artist caused a young friend to say that Harper "must have" made some of his work on a computer, because it was just "too perfect."melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10827454496323521760noreply@blogger.com
