I came across your post about my new book ...Leslie,<br />I came across your post about my new book Art Revolution and thought I would thank you for sharing it with others! The book was truly a labor of love. I was compelled to post, especially after reading another post in this thread about how we are all connected. I believe that to be true and I also believe that we are here to share and help each other along the way. I've posted your review along with the reviews from others at:<br />http://lisalcyr.wordpress.com/2009/07/23/art-revolution-reviews/<br /><br />As an FYI, I also have a facebook page around the project for events, exhibitions, lectures, etc. For anyone that may be interested:<br /><br />http://www.facebook.com/pages/Lisa-L-Cyr/93726883271?v=wall&viewas=0#/pages/Lisa-L-Cyr/93726883271?v=wall&viewas=0<br /><br />Thanks again for sharing your insight and spreading the word about Art Revolution!<br /><br />Lisa L.

I loved the fact that the book came the day I was writing about her. And here you are, talking about how engaged she is with the word "seize." <br /><br />Well, I seized the opportunity of synchronicity, also feeling that Jeane exemplified an artist who had a content driven approach.<br /><br />It's such fun when things like this happen ~~ it shows how connected we all are.Carol Wiebehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14058087717859112738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196169128467898547.post-87171297406211936882009-07-16T17:00:02.139-07:002009-07-16T17:00:02.139-07:00I just received this book and was cogitating about...I just received this book and was cogitating about what to write for my blog.

I’ll email the image of the back cover to you. I notice the images in my posts are “clickable” but in the side bar they are not. I have no idea how that works. The new header is from one of the 36 x 36 inch paintings. <br /><br />Derrick – Textures r me!<br /><br />Mary – Work that relates to something personal (personal content) is not formula driven. Jeane just commented how engaged she is with the word “seize.” So when she makes a painting called “seize” it will have personal meaning and come from within Jeane. No formula there! As I am working on my current paintings I am finding out what they are about – movement of the continents and islands, and evolution are all in the painting and resonate with me – nothing about that is from someone else’s work. <br />Jackson Pollick was his own man, so to say. He saw things in his drips, and he knew what they were about. If someone else came along and did what he did, it would be mimicry. The work would be about mimicking Jackson. <br />Still everyone influences everyone, and we artists of our time. The impressionists all have a style in common, but they could still make personal statements by responding to their subject matter from a personal perspective. I guess it’s about knowing what you are painting and why you are painting it. It does not have to be something big, it can be a simple thought, or feeling, but a personal response to that thought, feeling or subject matter. Circles as a symbol for instance, could be about the cycle of life, or buttons on a dress your Mom made you, or the moon, or just that you like circles. Its about your like of circles, not someone else’s like of circles. <br />Someone else want to chime in here?Leslie Avon Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09235003342775117469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196169128467898547.post-76119789543206993362009-07-13T06:51:24.946-07:002009-07-13T06:51:24.946-07:00Your work always inspires me.

I would like to see an example of what Lisa Cyr means when she says "homogenized aesthetic that results from formula driven art." Can't avoid it if you don't know what it is.

R...Kate – you are welcome. Thanks for stopping by.<br /><br />Robyn – Thanks Robyn. Time for art vs. time for blogging – two things I enjoy doing, but I must make a choice about time. These last few weeks I’ve felt the need to paint (including the kitchen walls and ceiling!) I’m playing with tissue papers and an artist books format for my favorite tissue transfers. Even though autumn is a ways off, I always get in the mood to make a book as the seasons change. A future post is planned on that. <br /><br />Willow – I live for the details!<br /><br />Janet – Thank you, and thanks for visiting.<br /><br />Marie – I like to ponder and discuss things like authenticity in art. But when I am actually creating art it’s all about going with what’s happening at the moment guided by my intuition and experience. Yes – I got the book from Amazon. I’ve added a link on the side bar to Amazon. I think you would enjoy the book.Leslie Avon Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09235003342775117469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196169128467898547.post-84274506925911151412009-07-12T19:47:13.732-07:002009-07-12T19:47:13.732-07:00Leslie,

When doing art from the perspective of interior growth, excellence in every creative endeavor requires a real commitment and focus; difficult to always achieve but worth the effort.

Would love to have it!)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11427569009529036611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196169128467898547.post-51698317617931622972009-07-12T19:09:10.848-07:002009-07-12T19:09:10.848-07:00Beautiful.Beautiful.Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09511412915776745826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196169128467898547.post-68923859922972081582009-07-12T16:36:56.192-07:002009-07-12T16:36:56.192-07:00I love all the wonderful detail and texture in thi...I love all the wonderful detail and texture in this piece, Leslie.
