What a beautiful post and thank you, thank you, thank you, for calling us artists! You are really an inspiration and I have been doing more of this style of work. I’m trying hard to find my inner voice. May I share this post with my friends?

In reply to Päivi. I saw it before and since I was searching into the enchanted garden, I tried to cover it up. Now when I read your words in this post, I wish I had emphasized - it might have been me peeking out but I really didn't like the beard! LOL

In reply to Deb Weiers. Thank you Deb! With this post I also wanted to show how text can bring context to the images and vice versa. This kind of illustrational approach does not always come to mind when looking at a single artwork. Your first image has been the foundation for this post.

In reply to Mary W. Thank you, Mary! I really that you will continue to create art and finding more about yourself. Now when I look at your artwork, it can also be a profile, do you see it?

Hi Paivi!! It has been wonderful to see work from the Inspirational Drawing class again! I had forgot how many beautiful pieces came out of this class! Your class opened up my artwork to be more expressive and free. I am ever grateful for your teaching!!

Seeing the various works created by the many students in your last ‘Inspirational Drawing’ class really is a real showcase for some of the pieces made. The philosophy behind the process can also be applied to life, thus enriching a person’s personal experiences. Thank you for the classes and for including something I did in this post. The people in the class were so very helpful with their comment and suggestions.

Your words today are so thick with meaning, emotion, and inspiration. Your class drew out wonderful art from so many people. I know that most were surprised by all they learned about themselves and creating art. I was. I have taken so many art classes in school, collage, workshops, and on-line but never have I learned so much about myself which, of course, is the key to ME making art that I enjoy and have feeling for. Thank you for this lovely commentary about art. You are such a blessing to me.
