Your posts are always food for thought. <br /><br />Like you, I have gotten feedback that I'm too left-brain in my approach to art, but until reading your post here, I never had much of a response to that. In reality, I would describe myself as "whole brain" -- yes I do a lot of left-brain processing, but behind that is a very active right brain. I suspect all artists operate in this way, but perhaps the point is set at different spots along a continuum.Chris Beckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01312206000778947056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1324184304367023797.post-90433284694232646162013-02-05T09:52:23.055-05:002013-02-05T09:52:23.055-05:00Hi Ross, Thank you!

It's good to have you participate in our discussion and hope you'll continue.<br /><br />Hi Margaret - You've made a good point about how each painter has a different approach. It really seems to depend upon our own personal psychology and behavior.<br /><br />Hi Mary - thanks so much! It's good to hear from you and to learn about your developing process. It is a journey for all of us, isn't it?<br /><br />Hi Dan - Yes! I really do believe in letting the subconscious take over. My planning is more or less a combination of conscious and subconscious decisions, but the development of a concept (for me) begins with a conscious effort to tap deep inside and identify what I want to say, and also a conscious choice of how to say it. Once that mental scaffolding is in place I can let the subconscious play a larger role.<br /><br />Hi Peggy - I've loved following your experiments! Your approach is practically scientific as you slightly alter each experiment to see the outcome and then try another. Fascinating!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11037549177881696434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1324184304367023797.post-82680020791407380322013-02-05T09:17:51.540-05:002013-02-05T09:17:51.540-05:00Hi Katharine, I enjoyed gaining insight to your cr...Hi Katharine, I enjoyed gaining insight to your creative process. I have often thought of my drawing and painting as problem solving. I think its similar, though not as deliberate as what you have developed. At my current level, I'm more of a "let's try this pallet and see how it influences mood". Lots to think about!

So my work is a combination of deliberate and free. I like happy accidents because they lead to unexpected results (except when they don't - lol).Dan Kenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13130079803891606515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1324184304367023797.post-50019333083226483752013-02-04T21:00:47.909-05:002013-02-04T21:00:47.909-05:00Kathy, so nice to hear from you.

I look forward to your next series.<br /><br />I believe each of us is unique in the way we approach our work. I find I need a personal attachment to objects, people, and places that I paint. I would like to be more deliberate than I am about where my art is going.<br /><br />Mary Paquethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05847021818957221109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1324184304367023797.post-2571231009647127242013-02-04T09:37:28.504-05:002013-02-04T09:37:28.504-05:00I enjoyed reading this post because it is so not t...I enjoyed reading this post because it is so not the way my work develops. Mostly. Now that I wrote that I've decided it isn't true. I think quite a bit about a series and immerse myself in the subject matter and my response to it. It is the actual painting process that is different. I never plan the painting in any great detail. It's more about the exploration of an idea through the process of painting. I really think quite a bit as I paint but it's in response to what I've just done and a building on it. <br /><br />The questions you ask are excellent and I want to think some more about them. Great to have you back blogging.Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12726740154167156916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1324184304367023797.post-31674895483597945192013-02-04T00:47:23.629-05:002013-02-04T00:47:23.629-05:00Thank you for this.
