I know your monsters are icky and smelly and mean, but you make even them look grand and lovely when you're done with them - that painting is phenomenal!! I do love that you have a toolbox of monster repellants! I MUST pull together one of those for myself. I just love your awesome creative outlook on life - even when it comes to things that make it so damn difficult to stay in creative mode. You are a creative warrior queen, destroyer of (or shoo-er away of)all that comes to try and steal your creative fire! I'm bowing to your majesty.<br /><br />I hope you always have all that you need and you absolutely deserve to have your needs met and more! BIG LOVE!<br /><br />P.S. I hope I never did, but I can't remember...if I've ever called you "Kimmie" ooooops!

I don't like the feeling I have when the monsters ascend on me (or you!) but the effects they have on our art is pretty cool. I LOVE your monster painting. But I rather like dark and mysterious things. I can't imagine a world with ONLY flowers and butterflies... it kinda makes me wanna puke up a rainbow.

Perfect advice. Perfect, perfect. <br /><br />I try and think of my monsters as a nasty storm that passes through my heart- there's sometimes nothing I can do but wait it out and seek safe shelter. But I try not to *follow* it or get caught up in it, if that makes any sense. Just let it pass. It's hard waiting though.<br /><br />Love this post so very much <3Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17204422715168104427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6422517111566028280.post-28165144826274279092011-08-09T07:43:17.399-07:002011-08-09T07:43:17.399-07:00Awesome post and even more awesome monster depicti...Awesome post and even more awesome monster depictions!

And some sunshine...that ALWAYS does the trick. Those are some dark looking monsters. I think just looking at them exposed like that is good for the soul. Really, what power do they hold?
