I always love hearing other people's 2 cents, and sometimes I give mine away too ;)<BR/><BR/>I actually was debating on which painting I liked better, and sometimes wonder if I should have left it looking rough and unfinished. I'm still not sure, but it's done now. I learned a lot with that painting. Glad to know you like both too!Ester Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14419940689718469698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20548059.post-62635653800013412582007-03-19T23:18:00.000-04:002007-03-19T23:18:00.000-04:00I agree with r_sail...

I too will check on the book Hagakura.<BR/><BR/>Wanted to let you know how much I loved what you did with the re-worked 3/16 post... also liked the faded look to Underpainted on 3/13. I like it just as it is... uh, thats my 2 cents worth...Nancy Van Blaricomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17030893675129815727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20548059.post-84536473466914130562007-03-19T19:23:00.000-04:002007-03-19T19:23:00.000-04:00thanks for mentioning that book, Sail.

I've been very interested in Eastern Philosophy for a long time, and I have a feeling that getting rid of ego-based living it central to happiness.<BR/><BR/>Why so tired? Are you working yourself to death with all the projects? Hope all's well!Ester Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14419940689718469698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20548059.post-8778784465726973602007-03-19T19:12:00.000-04:002007-03-19T19:12:00.000-04:00I really appreciate eastern philosophy for its lac...I really appreciate eastern philosophy for its lack of ego. It's all about leaving your ego at the door.<BR/><BR/>I'm sure you've read some eastern philosophy, but if you havn't you really should.<BR/><BR/>One book I really love is the Hagakura. It's a book of old Samurai teachings, but most of it applies across the board to whatever you're dealing with. At least it does for me. I used to read one passage a day (as it's in passages, about 3-4 a page) and let that somehow apply to my life that day. It was wonderful. Then I finished it. But, I can go back to it. I dunno, I'm not a Samurai, but the philosophy still works. And its got a lot about caligraphy, which I think applies to me as an artist. Interesting stuff. I like to think I'm a better person for having read that sort of stuff. It's certainly made me think less about my ego.<BR/><BR/>I dunno, I'm tired and rambling.Sailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15390112985766755935noreply@blogger.com
