I chuckled at your lukewarm comment. If you are lukewarm, I must be tepid or room temperature (which is fairly cold right now with the weather we are having).
ReplyDeleteI am in awe of the talents some people have. I know that it comes from natural born talents and a lot of practice. But they make it look so effortless. I wish I would have begun my art journey 30 years earlier than I did.
oh - pshaw - i have seen your work and you are too hard on yourself...you work is quite lovely... :-) i agree, we would all be further along if we had started early, but being happy with where we are is the point i always make. i'd love to write like that other jean...but, imagine the pressure of being him...it's easier to be a slacker/scribbler
ReplyDeleteI love this 'S'. Wish I had one in my name, but one of my son's does. Maybe I can use the idea for my son Sean. Thanks!! ;-)
ReplyDeletei'll try to do a whole alphabet....
ReplyDeleteI think `S` is the loveliest letter of the alphabet....but thats just me-I bet you can make every letter lovely3
