Thinking and formulating are a major part of what we do. I would have to ask the question at times, "Do you want quality, or do you want quantity?". Regrettably, that answer was not the one I usually wanted to hear. :)<br /><br />Now I'm my own boss and I can finally focus on the answer I always wanted to hear... Quality. It's taken me a couple years to get used to that idea, that I can finally take the time to look inward, think things through, affirm my desires and only then go to the final process - whether it be painting or design.<br /><br />-Don-Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17549962962379079880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1324184304367023797.post-16991420993046348532013-02-10T22:04:20.672-05:002013-02-10T22:04:20.672-05:00Hi Margaret - I can see in your work a great deal ...Hi Margaret - I can see in your work a great deal of thoughtfulness.

I agree that you spend much more time thinking than you do actually executing work in the studio. Sometimes I have large gaps in my studio work while I am putting together new ideas. Sorting and resorting photos play a large part in my creative process. I rarely use a photo in its entirety but they serve as memory prompts and extensions For example putting things together that you would not usually put together. This process is a wonderful way to get your mind moving in different directions. I would love to take one of your workshops.
