Hey 26Taurus, i use oils, watercolours and pencils. I just like the realistic quality of paintings and the fact that the Masters used them in most of their drawings. IP: Logged |

Heart--Shaped Cross, I just saw your post. I was thinking about this just today (in another immediate context) but it is quite related. I was thinking about how I sometimes just drop out and go underground and I don't call and I won't answer the phone cause I don't want to be "bothered". Thanks for posting that excerpt it gives me some insight into certain things that I've been wondering about and having trouble with. I don't know if I agree with this Proust in his outlook, he seems cynical. But at the same time I have to agree that the idle chatter gets so tedious and it gets me away from myself because most of the time I haven't the inclination to respond whether the "poetry" be good or bad. I think that this has everything to do with the engergies because I think that it may be a necessity for the artist to be undiluted to do the best work and if you are continually riding someone else's wave you may lose sight of yours. But wouldn't that apply to anyone who is working toward not being diluted (whether conscious or not) whether they be an artist or not? The ongoing necessity for banter is a bit much and I'm not sure what to do with it, so close friendships do get a bit tedious for me. But that is friendship, what about with a love partner, With a soulmate? Isn't their wave yours and yours theirs, even though you are different people? That is a completely different proposition I think.Also a part of the excerpt addressed how one feels about other people's negative view of certain qualities that you have, and you in turn taking that as a sign that they may not like or love you as much as they would if they did not have those views on you, and it being, for lack of a better term, a double standard. That is something that I deal with all of the time and I appreciated someone else's view on this. *edited in* I was watching "The Notebook" yesterday (for the first time) and Noah said something about that. It is hard not to think that someone will still like or love you as much because of your flaws. Maybe it has to do with not trusting others to be as non-shallow as you are or something or something to do with control issues or something.
I haven't proof-read so...straight thoughts and properly spelled words

Silverbell? I want to tell you I just went through something very interesting involving arts. First of all, I'm deaf and yet, I'm song-writing for the first time in my life(I used to write other stories and stuff but never songs) I never got support from my parents for what I do.
But you asked about time for yourself and dividing some times for others, and being self-absorbed in doing your arts. I think you deserve that time for yourself to be creative when that right time hit. Because if you put them aside for other people, then when will you get to use that time reserved for your creations? They don't know your feelings, the pulls from your "strings" wanting you to stay with what you really wanted to do.
I enrolled in 2 classes recently but had to drop them after a bike accident. It was a wake up call...
I was crushed but I was also distracted by my own self absorptions, self awareness, and self enlightenments, and the new gifts I just found within my whole being, songs. I even sing! I'm back to colored pencil drawings and watercolor painting, sometimes I cut out old pictures, or I would scan and create songs with pictures.
I'm going to therapy and was encouraged to continue to follow my feelings in healing arts. My therapist was impressed and very supportive how I expressed myself. She was impressed that I did artwork on my natal chart.
Think about it. You should figure what is your strengths from your charts. If the word arts, nature, harmony, whatever is related to creations, then you should be focusing on them.

fayte.m, I used to know this girl who used to draw like that. But that seems like it might be scary, I didn't ask her too many questions about it for some reason. Does the person share some of your body or do they just work with your mind and transmit things that way? What do you come up with if yo don't mind??WaterCat, you write songs? Are you good at math? I ask, because I wondering if you wrote the music as well and if you do I was wondering if you happened to be good at math because math and music are so closely related. I have learned to feel okay about following my art moods because I realized that when I was doing it I was getting tastes of my true self and that is extremely important and I couldn't conciously give of myself completely (and it would have to be concious, for the most part, at that point) without exploring in that way. Cause it helped me to open my heart, which was hard for me and opening my heart led to new/old mind explorations and all types of things that I was to closed to remember. ------------------

I'm just wondering when we draw from the heart to express a feeling, do other people get what we are trying to portray? And probably do you sell your drawings and do people buy them?IP: Logged |
