Strong drumbeats and simple music turn off that hemisphere and opinions, accounting/values, and words kick in through the left hemisphere. Strong left hemisphere people look at one of your paintings and SAY 'wow, that's beautiful.' Stronger right hemisphere people look at your paintings and THINK 'an image,' without words/critique. The person who traded the painting for a six-pack maybe/likely needed to fill the gap with a venue for his other hemisphere. Enough, many thanks for posting your paintings.

Naw, I can paint or draw with both hands, but that's more of a visual memory, visualization gift than a hand control issue I think.Gunnar Berghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17451985764040900726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2695748260936745505.post-55530272876767672582010-02-22T06:34:57.346-08:002010-02-22T06:34:57.346-08:00Thank you for this, Gunnar.

Sparse Gray Hackle, snatched for a song out of the window of Bud's real estate office on Clark Street, has been my office-mate throughout my law dog days and now gazes down at me in the Sierra Club office. Sparse Grey will need a friend one of these days; my kid stole the other water color you did and won't give it back.Margadantnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2695748260936745505.post-53306804303615894842010-02-21T19:40:09.357-08:002010-02-21T19:40:09.357-08:00yes, i think it is time.

I would be really interested in what you would choose to paint and how you would approach it now.<br /><br /><br />Never could handle watercolors, far more difficult for me than all the other painting mediums.gabrielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17578188282720345953noreply@blogger.com
