Linda always asks me how many paintings I plan to complete for the show; I give her a different answer every time. I think I'll give this mapping thing a shot. What am I doing? I should be taking notes!<BR/><BR/>Thanks!<BR/><BR/>BasilAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8988591403253609681.post-68302486680563566322008-03-26T01:51:00.000+00:002008-03-26T01:51:00.000+00:00HI MEGANI WOULD LIKE TO WIN ONE OF YOUR ORIGINAL W...HI MEGAN<BR/>I WOULD LIKE TO WIN ONE OF YOUR ORIGINAL WORKS<BR/>HAVE A GOOD EASTER WEEKEND<BR/>DARRELL <BR/><BR/>(posted by Megan, Darrell was having some trouble)Megan Chapmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07802226660706662685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8988591403253609681.post-10804572089755301912008-03-26T01:48:00.000+00:002008-03-26T01:48:00.000+00:00Just finished your latest blog, it was great.

Would she be a cashier, stocker, returns person or dressing room attendant? I think I'd find her in hosiery - rearranging the colors and strips and textures. <BR/><BR/>Megan's a damn hard worker. She claims to slack a lot - but I don't believe her. She basically lives, eats and breathes her craft...non-freaking stop, always working it.<BR/><BR/>I must say, it is refreshing to see someone be honest about the struggle and how to work through it. A lot of my visits to Megan's studio were met with prestine-ness, but then I got to it see pre-show. She's not perfect! She gets frenetic. She pulls it off, becoming graceful, as if it was pure pleasure. It is, isn't it?<BR/><BR/>Good job boss!

Sometimes I think I have totally lost any talent I had, other times I think it might have been the subject I chose and I get discouraged. After reading your blog, one of such honesty, I want you to know I feel inspired to get started again. After reading about your moments of frustration, I can get going again. I love the comment about how you think at times you think you should get a job at Target! LOL<BR/><BR/>Your works on paper that you are giving away are awesome. I especially like the ones with a little plum color in them, like the lower right corner one! You seem to mix the right colors together. I am glad I stopped by to read your blog. Thanks for sharing.
