Blueberry, I looked for this reply in the link you provided and it wasn’t there. My guess was the poster was “Madster”?
Madster dispenses very good advise and doesn’t coddle anyone. I think she gave you very good ideas.
Your Buddha painting shows quite a lot of sensitivity and you should keep going in your artistic endeavors. You have to develop kind of a thick hide in order to keep evolving artistically. You have to respect who is giving you advise too.
Kitty Wallis, the person whose pastel work you admired is nearly 70 years old and has been at this solidly for 50 years.
indeed, she gave good advice.
but who needs to go about being an asshole in Life ?
that gets pretty old in a retirement home. I say, best learn to be polite & nice to people BEFORE one needs catheterization.
you think I’m kidding, I took Nursing. You’d be surprised how many old people undergo a shock when they realize nurses have feelings, too.
