Support of the artists

Hi there

Having been the significant other for the artist during the past 20 years and having several of our offspring now following into that arena I wanted to have a bit of a voice for those who watch while beauty, insight, inspiration and awe are hammered out, edited, critiqued, rewritten, redrawn, repainted and completely rehashed.

I do not have or have not honed the gift of writing, for an example this simple few paragraph introduction has taken at least 30 min to compose, multiple spell checks and wearing out of the backspace key, as well as some rising of the blood pressure to make this attempt. Those of you with the gift it would only take a moment or two. Let alone figuring out what the spell checker is advising me by offering the word writers as writer’s or writers’ so forgive me if it is the wrong one!

Having watched as the authors, writers’ artists and the workers of what others would call magic and I identify as a gift. Seeing a tent, tree, suit, mountains, lakes and innumerable other real and imagined pictures appear on the medium used fills me with such wonder how can you look at that and not see what has been created out of charcoal, pulp or pigment and your hand?

This is to wake you up to the joy and the words fail me to describe the feeling that what you can and have worked so very hard to mold the skill and flow of the words is a vision for the rest of us. Especially the first and every attempt.
