No kidding… these guys really got to me.I received the CD in the mail yesterday and now I’m sharing – with their permission.
MPEG Audio: [ mp3 Podcast] Stereo, 3.7 MB
It all started back when they sent me a CD in the mail, a compilation album. Unsolicited. And I was all like, “what the…?” but then I listened and it kind of grew on me. Not sure why.So I wrote a review of the album, not expecting anything back. And now this!
Interesting timing because I have been seriously considering giving up art. Over the previous 48 hours or so, some negative comments about my work got me to thinking and wondering if it is all worth it or not.
Okay, sure, I paint a bit compulsively at times, but this stuff is way too expensive for just a hobby. Sales have been up and down (you know, “despite the great economy”) so I was starting to think that maybe I’m just full of crap and really suck as an artist but am too stupid to know it…
And then Moe’s Haven kind of saved the day. A big hug to them. You can visit their web site at www.moeshaven.com.
Hi Chriss,
I saw you name on MoesHaven. Okay I got to your site and am angry with you now. How could such a talented artist Ever think of giving up her BEAUTIFUL work? I personally think your art is magnificent! I really appreciate the fact that you are diverse.
Some are inspiring, some are sad, some are enlighting and some are soul images of you. I love them all! The landscapes, the self portraits the innerself.
I am a poet, not an artist. I tried to paint and draw and only did a few I liked (just for me) but you are a true artist indeed my dear and you need to persue this vision!
I must admit that I have thought of giving up my work as a poet as well, but then I write something that pulls me out of that mode. I am including this poem here:
NOTHING FOR YOU
There I stood
in front of the judgemental,
or were they my peers?
So difficult to see
the mixed company
as artist,
poets,
musicians.
I scrambled for the words
to come out of the mouth
that would lead them
into my meaning
of what i was reading…
I think they cared not.
There was nothing
for you.
See, all artist feel the way you do and just don’t give up nor give in.

Write me back sometime and I hope to hear from you soon. And keep expressing yourself through art as that is life in perspective to those with the insight to see.
Take care,
