The 'Myths' painting,...Thank you Barbara. <br /><br />The 'Myths' painting, as with most of the others, was done from a spontaneous sketch made during the meetings. I was appointed to visually record all the events, and then to work some of the notes and sketches into developed artworks. So in contrast with much of my work, I am creating these in response to other people's views - rather like being a channel of communication for others. It is interesting to hear and read people's responses and interpretations of the work. There are variations in responses, but very much an underlying thread of collective interpretation, which then leads to further interaction and discussion. This has been such a stimulating and inspiring project to work on!Phoenix C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13852678924557075302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049911930772124465.post-2614237673912050752012-07-20T02:13:52.447+01:002012-07-20T02:13:52.447+01:00An excellent collection.

I'm rather fond of the "Myths" watercolour as I can envision angels flying back to be on earth.Barbara Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00610140328527165017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049911930772124465.post-1604920494419670842012-07-19T22:48:21.475+01:002012-07-19T22:48:21.475+01:00Thank you Malyss, that is very encouraging.

I am glad that my work can help.Phoenix C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13852678924557075302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049911930772124465.post-62224134457865159452012-07-19T17:04:10.482+01:002012-07-19T17:04:10.482+01:00(I won't say it in a correct way , because I&#...(I won't say it in a correct way , because I'm french and can't find the right english words, sorry) but I like the way you use your art to militate, to defend a cause , and a beautiful one!<br />Your drawings and paintings are so pretty that they will attract young people and make them understand what's important in this world.
