The month, or so, without a computer was a bit of a shock to the system, but after a couple of days it became quite refreshing. I love blogging so much, and love sharing my work with the world, but I am considering taking a month a year off in the future, just to recharge the batteries. Have you ever taken time out? To me your brilliant informative blog looks like a huge amount of work. Where as I just draw and type some nonsense - which comes naturally! But your blog looks much much more involved. How much time, per week say, goes into creating your blog?<br /><br />Thanks again.andrea joseph's sketchbloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17074404376405604742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-36766090628326318232010-06-28T21:57:37.149+00:002010-06-28T21:57:37.149+00:00Confused?!

I was so incenced the other day by someone on a flicker group passing off a digital watercolour as a real one, and I think you can tell, he had even denied it when asked, that I left the group! Huge shock waves, not! But it is something that I then thought about a lot and came to the conclusion that the actual process of painting, the craft if you like, is a very important part of the whole thing, therefore the finished object is almost secondary to the artist... and then the viewer has to play his or her part, which is important too. I think I might do a post about this very subject...or better still you could!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14193935968877679533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-27224249612110140742010-06-27T20:16:22.580+00:002010-06-27T20:16:22.580+00:00Thanks for pointing my video out Katherine.

You are how ever wrong about Nijmegen being "The bridge too far" that is Arnhem, ... after the Market garden operation the whole city centre of Arnhem was destroyed by the Germans to avoid a second attempt, ... that's why Arnhem hasn't got an historic centre anymore and Nijmegen does.René PleinAirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03368603005553165550noreply@blogger.com
