Interesting how we do this Lori. The same happened with my partner. He never criticised me or looked down at my work. It was my own subconscious processes at work which proves to me that we need to be so vigilant about the things we don’t actively think about.

Thanks for reading …

Marialena thank you for your thoughts. So true what you say … this morphing and the greater whole. It makes me want to venture into more unknown water in other areas of my life to see how just allowing the process to unfold could expand my world.

Your words have a nice flow- thanks.

I’m determined to buy myself the soft cover edition so that I can read it again, doodle and draw… :0)

It’s interesting how interacting with creative people can tamper our own own creative activity, or can spur it on. I imagine whether it goes one way or another depends on a million things: where we are at that moment, the nature of the interaction, etcetera. It’s certainly something to think about. I like how your very organized and reasonable book process morphed to become a whole greater than the sum of the parts (illustration plus text). That exemplifies the creative sphere almost perfectly: as we create, the product becomes something else, something unexpected. Thanks for sharing!

Years ago I found myself in the same position – hitched to a guy who was a talented musician, composer, artist, and writer, and I think maybe I reacted to that in a similar fashion. Not that he was ever critical in any way, but he was such a fantastic artist that I never would have dreamed of competing. Of course, I was never conscious of that until just now, when I read your post!
