Your insightful remarks about ...Dear Friend Susan,<br /><br />Your insightful remarks about my work does indeed parallel the interests (beyond simply painting) and a journey that you and I share. The reference in your comment to your interest and knowledge of Native American indigenous culture reflects your spiritual connection to the world around you.<br /><br />I have been all eyes on that very same moon as it waxed to its winter fullness. Could that moon have been the very well been that one in my "Martyr's Moon, at Sainte-Marie-Among-the-Hurons??? <br /><br />I wonder...<br /><br />The coyotes in the rear of our woodlot have been exhibiting the very same rowdy behavior here... likely driven by the very same impulse brought on by the full moon.<br /><br />Thank you for continuing to visit... and share your ideas Susan I feel that we have a group of kindred spirits who can elevate each other's creative spirit to new levels!<br /><br />Happy New Year! Look forward to more conversations!<br /><br />Warmest regards,<br />Bruce <br /> Bruce Shermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13111784187521969252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3013724465609653382.post-18823885383683218622020-01-10T21:06:51.409-05:002020-01-10T21:06:51.409-05:00So interesting, Bruce, that your moonscapes and th...So interesting, Bruce, that your moonscapes and thoughts of Neil Armstrong coincide with my own visit to the Air and Space Museum and seeing the space suit worn during his moon walk. There is no doubt that the moon is a powerful and wondrous image hanging in the sky inspiring scientists, poets and painters alike. I love your work and how you channel your inspiration to capture the beauty of the moonlight - pale and warm or cold and intense. Coincidentally, tonight is the January Full Wolf Moon, so called apparently because the early Native Americans noticed that wolves were more likely to howl during the full moon of the winter months. We occasionally hear the howling of coyotes where we live and I will be listening intently for them tonight! Thank you for sharing your wonderful work - I so look forward to see what the new year brings!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07899318999574055763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3013724465609653382.post-67489117955091793262020-01-07T17:06:45.911-05:002020-01-07T17:06:45.911-05:00Happy New Year... back to you Lass!

I can assure you that as "easy" as they can appear to "roll off my brush"... like you, I agonize to achieve what I seek to capture in front of me, or from my imagination. Both can be illusive as you well know.<br /><br />I too look forward to seeing your new projects and am so very fortunate and blessed to be sharing ideas and encouragement with you. It means a lot to me as well...<br /><br />Rich blessings of good health... painting success and many new adventures.<br /><br />Warmest regards,<br />Bruce Bruce Shermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13111784187521969252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3013724465609653382.post-84407213914321344392020-01-06T14:02:03.853-05:002020-01-06T14:02:03.853-05:00Happy New Year to you Bruce!

Creativity <br />does in fact come in great bursts... and often when least expected or planned for. That makes its pursuit so enticing... and rewarding when it is felt.<br /><br />Your choice of favorite hardly surprises me Rhonda. I find that your beautiful work follows a similar vein. It is highly evocative of the wam spirit that your being embraces and nurtures.<br /><br />The videos wouldn't upload but I intend to send it to you... you will enjoy it and you will see why I chose to share it with you and others.<br /><br />Happy New Year... and Good Painting in 2020.<br /><br />Warmest regards,<br />Bruce<br />Bruce Shermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13111784187521969252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3013724465609653382.post-68136636230641987812019-12-30T22:42:25.906-05:002019-12-30T22:42:25.906-05:00Wishing you the best in 2020 - bursts of creativit...Wishing you the best in 2020 - bursts of creativity and joy that comes in unexpected moments, as well as warm and loving family and friends :). That Pale Moon Rising painting is my favorite - beautifully done and cold but a warm fire waiting in that house :). The videos said they were unavailable so I hope you didn’t impart any pearls of wisdom there that I will miss.
