San - I read your post about talking about your work. I can definitely relate - I can write all day about my art but the minute I need to speak I'm at a total lose for words.

Then I read about the memorial service. My condolences on your father's death. Keep making art. You are traveling; your work will reflect the journey.

I like how the blue is able to stand it's own in the company of all that black. You've placed it perfectly in a lower corner, where it wouldn't seem to make sense, but it does. Thank you for sharing!

I have gotten so I am more comfortable writing than talking about my work too. Please be kind to yourself. No matter how much a parent's passing is expected, it is HARD!! So I am not surprised if you will take awhile to recover. And for most of us, it comes and goes in waves ... but does ease. Hugs to you!! ~ Diane Clancy <a title="www.dianeclancy.com/blog" href="http://www.dianeclancy.com/blog" rel="nofollow">www.dianeclancy.com/blog</a> Hi Lisa,

About the introversion factor: a lot of us creative types tend to be this way. Seems to help us focus on our work. There's a gallery next door to us in Santa Fe. Sometimes on busy weekends they put out a sign--"Artist in Residence." A painter will come in and set up an easel and do a demonstration. I can't believe they get real work done then. I would be so self-conscious! The solitary nature of making art is rather appealing to me. And I empathize with the difficulty of talking about one's own work. Yesterday I recently posted about this on my blog. I too like the piece, Lisa, but I like all of your work that I’ve seen.
