It's my journal and teaching method for myself (and others) to remember the details in my head before they get pushed to the side! It's become my favorite learning tool (blogging) as I am learning from the blogs I follow as well. :)Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05473234128433916311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711605588592797362.post-59706013188073006422010-06-15T04:20:12.469-04:002010-06-15T04:20:12.469-04:00Exhaustion is a good thing when so much has been p...Exhaustion is a good thing when so much has been packed into such a short time. I think its a great idea to write about your thoughts right away. I've always found that by going over what I've learned instantly and writing it all down I remember more later. You can put clarity to your words later when you've had time to rest and organize your thoughts more concisely. I can't wait to see the work that comes from your adventures...<br /><br />-Don-Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17549962962379079880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711605588592797362.post-37190268034496720232010-06-14T07:16:15.792-04:002010-06-14T07:16:15.792-04:00Terry, anyone can go to the conference and the tal...Terry, anyone can go to the conference and the talks and demos that are geared to beginners are marked clearly. The sign-ups open in January (unless it changes for next year) and you should definitely go if you have the interest! We are so fortunate to be local and to have the conference easily accessible.<br /><br />Thanks for the encouraging words about my style and art; It was overwhelming to be surrounded by so many experts when for me I am like a kindergardener trying to learn for the first time! I do feel better about my style and preference and purpose in the art world as of this morning and you may notice I changed my blog look. It's a new day with a fresh start.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05473234128433916311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711605588592797362.post-91189949141786590702010-06-14T00:00:12.540-04:002010-06-14T00:00:12.540-04:00HI Robin...loved your post, even though you feel c...HI Robin...loved your post, even though you feel confused...I thought what you had to say was very important. Loved your thoughts about bees and their wax and how it helps the artist share "the light"...it reinforces for me that we are all one...nature really brings that home. I hope you don't dwell on the issue of being "deep" enough....trust where your intuition takes you...you are a wonderful artist and your creations exude a wonderful feeling of groundedness and spirit...just be who you are because it's great. Can't wait to see more of your new work. p.s. Are people who never used encaustic allowed to attend the conference? I'd love to go next year.Terry Del Perciohttp://www.workintegrity.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
