So I understand what you mean about them speaking to you as you work, still.<BR/><BR/>Blog friends are also my current mentors...without a doubt. I too love the generous, positiveness and the excellent questioning of these kind people. I think kindness is probably one of the most important things in those I find are good mentors for me.<BR/><BR/>Thanks Andrea!Andrea and Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15337904921232330088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5241393111022392313.post-85330737420508360432008-06-05T09:15:00.000-04:002008-06-05T09:15:00.000-04:00Hi Kim!

I have had some very important mentors, linked to certain periods in my life. Sometimes, when I'm working on a painting, or textile art piece, or drawing, I hear their voices telling me things they taught me:) Very critial sometimes. It always helps to go a step forward.<BR/>One can say that right now, my blogfriends are my mentor, always present and generous and positive and questioning:), driving spirits:)<BR/>love<BR/>AndreaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12602563148936673366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5241393111022392313.post-44094422667286996952008-06-03T19:01:00.000-04:002008-06-03T19:01:00.000-04:00Thank you, San!

The world may soon yell, "uncle" to traditional mentors...and we may be seeing that happen now! <BR/><BR/>"You Shall Know Our Velocity!" sounds lovely. I will have to have a look/see. Thank you for the recommendation.<BR/><BR/>San, as always I am so appreciative of your comments on this blog.

And I love Paula's comment! We have to mentor each other I believe, and I always learn something when I read your posts.<BR/><BR/>What am I reading right now? Not an art book but a very artfully written work of fiction--"You Shall Know Our Velocity!" by Dave Eggers.Sanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18245301334922883500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5241393111022392313.post-51536572181714882502008-06-03T10:12:00.000-04:002008-06-03T10:12:00.000-04:00Really, Paula?!?!?

I don't think I have ever been called a mentor before...quite sure about that :) I am glad, though, if I can be of help to you...that honestly makes my day. Helping people is something rewarding to me, so you have really given a HUGE GIFT today. Thank you.<BR/><BR/>I also get most of my art fix here online. I think for me it is about introversion and time. You know? I should do more...I honestly should.<BR/><BR/>Oh Yes! Painting...Hon, I hope you do another eggplant one! I keep watching your blog for another treat!<BR/><BR/>Interviews...well, there will be another one next week! Yup! And it proves to be very exciting, too!<BR/><BR/>Thanks so much, Paula!

I also have a friend in Santa Fe who is a champion for me.<BR/><BR/>I love to visit with other artists but don't get much opportunity except here online.<BR/><BR/>Right now I'm not reading much. Too much attention to the garden and my painting. I do love to read though and really appreciate your reviews and also your interviews.....Paula In Pinetophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16911094972820071183noreply@blogger.com
