The allium is so beautiful - but then blues have always been my favorite. <br />Oh, if teachers could only grasp how sensitive children's minds and hearts are to criticism. I wonder how much creativity has been squelched by an adult's unthoughtful comment?Lorriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03653026442945027184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611629518125647441.post-66851176888408116032013-06-15T17:57:32.089-07:002013-06-15T17:57:32.089-07:00Stunning artistic images Andrea!

Andrea is both an artist and an inspiration. It is not what we do but who we are. And, embracing who we are can be the hardest challenge. :)" And I mean it, Andrea... thank you for this.Letitiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17190089517450831454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611629518125647441.post-49054878110747925482013-06-15T07:54:35.767-07:002013-06-15T07:54:35.767-07:00Thanks for sharing these powerful moments in your ...Thanks for sharing these powerful moments in your life: the one that was hurtful and shut you down, the other, the realization of God's gift of art in you.<br /><br />I'm so glad you now believe you're an artist. You always were to me. Your intellect that blends the written word with the theme of your photography is somewhat unique and gives you a niche that is rarely seen. <br /><br />Onward, Dear Sister! dsblanchardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05765510403687034601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611629518125647441.post-41305231060153249642013-06-15T07:06:39.164-07:002013-06-15T07:06:39.164-07:00oh my!! so very BEautimous.
I am so sorry for yo...oh my!! so very BEautimous. <br /><br />I am so sorry for your teacher AND your sharing that story reminded me that when I was teaching I tried ALWAYS to encourage the creative spirit of ALL. <br /><br />one year at the museum my theme was that we are each an artist and our art, even with the same materials at the outset canNOT help but BE unique. <br /><br />it was a wonderful year with lots of interesting responses from the teachers and parents who came with the kids.<br /><br />I have been sad that the museum eliminated having me come in to DO this and then realised that DOing it when and for as long as I DID was such a gift.<br /><br />BE YOU, no one does it better!!<br />xoxoCurrie Silverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16502798362838891569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611629518125647441.post-86097866849289306682013-06-15T06:52:30.000-07:002013-06-15T06:52:30.000-07:00Matches the theme beautifully.

My sophomore year in High School I took art. The teacher took us outside and told us to draw what we saw around us as we saw it. I drew some trees and then he came by and proceeded to tell me everything he thought was "wrong" with my piece. I never took art again. Now I enjoy my photography and rubber stamping and am quite pleased that the artist in me wasn't totally buried away.<br />Absolutely LOVE your last piece here. It is very dreamy. All your work was lovely.Idahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14587867197850064349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611629518125647441.post-50028302468669368222013-06-14T13:13:19.732-07:002013-06-14T13:13:19.732-07:00These are so wonderful, yes you are an artist!These are so wonderful, yes you are an artist!Kim Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16765296400379609580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1611629518125647441.post-30480944444880808132013-06-14T12:03:57.192-07:002013-06-14T12:03:57.192-07:00You are an artist, giving us/me really beautiful w...You are an artist, giving us/me really beautiful works.
