I just seem to do whatever comes naturally. Sometimes it works..sometimes not...lol<br />Good luck with your koi.

I've taken workshops from paper collage artists, Gerald Brommer, Carrie Burns Brown, Anne Bagby, and Nita Leland. They all work in a similar manner but their distinctive style can still be seen. Because I've taken a Cheng Kee Chee and have lots of Koi photos I'll probably do a koi.Nancy Standleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04822619763936348538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6302685679588008447.post-86548353423589101522010-05-27T17:20:33.898-04:002010-05-27T17:20:33.898-04:00Susan
I appreciate your thoughts.
I personally ha...Susan<br />I appreciate your thoughts. <br />I personally have no spat with Ms Nelson. She and I had spoken a few times in the past via email. All was fine. I introduced myself to her recently at a show nearby. Again, all was fine. I am not at all sure why she suddenly chose to create the post she did on her blog.<br />The subjects you mention have been around forever. Neither she nor I were the first to use them.<br /> <br />I personally have been doing cupcakes in one medium or another for many years. As for the cow…I live in rural New England, and as anyone here can tell you, they are a natural favorite of local artists. I created my cow over a year ago for a specific local art show as a bit of fun being poked at the vast amount of cow art they show each year. Who would have thought that all this time later, one cow for one show would cause such a stir. Seems pretty silly to me.<br /><br />As to the difference in our work…I’m glad you could see that. Yes. They are very different. <br />One big reason I went to see the local show Ms Nelson was in was to be able to finally look at her work up close and to know for myself that our styles were nothing alike. In person, it is even more evident.<br /><br />I’m glad to hear you are trying your hand at the collage. I’m quite sure you will enjoy it. Please don’t go into it already thinking you would be bothered by finding you are not the only artist creating certain subjects. None of us are…or ever will be. <br />If we had to find all the artist working in a certain medium and run through the entire list of all the subjects that every one of them have already touched on….none of us would ever be able to create again!<br />Just do whatever it is you love and feel confident in that.<br />Your techniques sound interesting and I hope sometime we are lucky enough to see your work as well. Much luck to you!WWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06291532839487554980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6302685679588008447.post-4755944182416205782010-05-27T14:24:22.233-04:002010-05-27T14:24:22.233-04:00I have been following the spat between Nelson and ...I have been following the spat between Nelson and you. <br /><br />I also have been testing the waters with paper collage, but I believe where she is somewhat bothered by your work is the subject matter. Not sure who created the art first, but she has a cow, and you have a cow. She has cupcakes and so do you. <br /><br />I for one can see that this would bother me. They are very much alike. And yes I know there are differences. <br /><br />I for one do not paint the paper, I am using inks or the actual color of the paper. I have also tried the citrasolv on papers. I find these techniques refreshing instead of doing it like Ms. Nelson. <br /><br />Your work is nice.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04514542015239046384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6302685679588008447.post-39062463211552373092010-05-22T11:40:34.210-04:002010-05-22T11:40:34.210-04:00I'd like to take a moment to apologize to some...I'd like to take a moment to apologize to some of my friends who have received some unsolicited Spam email from this lady.<br /><br />It is quite unfair to all of you. <br />Please feel free to report it.WWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06291532839487554980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6302685679588008447.post-81653261409518271382010-05-21T15:02:19.857-04:002010-05-21T15:02:19.857-04:00Thank you.

And yes, Eric Carle has been around forever.<br />I enjoy your work and don’t worry about anyone else. Artists should <br />be supportive of each other. Remember…it is a person’s own insecurity that makes them behave badly. Takes a big ego to think that someone’s sole inspiration comes from only them when there are clearly so many great sources of inspiration out there!Alisonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6302685679588008447.post-10848771660366999872010-05-21T14:02:35.905-04:002010-05-21T14:02:35.905-04:00it's great how inspiration can be found in so ...it's great how inspiration can be found in so many places. i loved looking at all the links you provided. fabulous work!rochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08166838379929573728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6302685679588008447.post-13117620457362249692010-05-21T10:22:52.343-04:002010-05-21T10:22:52.343-04:00You know what my inspiration is?
