I find things to love in them all. Just like humans. At least that's my intent. I agree with Bobby - you'll know and the girls will tell you when they are fully expressed. I look forward to seeing their personal growth!
BUTTON: “SLEEP IS FOR WIMPS! Happy, healthy, well-rested wimps, but wimps nevertheless” 😁
(I found one of my old button collections. I used to keep them on the walls of my cubicles as I changed jobs. Now I no longer have cubicle walls, and my buttons are in my photo archives.)
Gail, while I appreciate the ongoing visual evolution of your Muses, to me they are voices in my head. Not so much solid humans as color and sparkles and laughter and distant background music. Who eat cookies and play around in the kitchen... somehow.
Not to discourage you, just letting you know that you are painting what the number seven smells like. 😊
Thanks Jack… and I hear what you are saying. I’ve mentioned a time or two how much I love James Herriot’s books? There is a lovely re-creation of the stories on PBS right now that I understand is receiving rave reviews. I only watched one episode because the real humans are messing with the essences I have inside of me… there is a mismatch.
As for C,T, and U… I love sparkles, laughter, and distant music! ♥️💜💚
I am currently fascinated with the direction the girls are moving in… I believe, each of these characters will inwardly determine how they choose to be expressed and only Paintist will know when they have expressed themselves to their fullest for this present moment in time. There will be, I’m sure, additional adornments that become part of the fabric, that holds the thread, that reveals the character, of each of the muses as they continue to grow and evolve. After all, life is not static… We are either growing or dying. The girls are growing every day!
“No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man.”
“All things flow, nothing abides. You cannot step into the same river twice, for the waters are continually flowing on. Nothing is permanent except change.”
Great work Gail! Tal is surely a home run. Nia, yes, a bit overly pink, I think🤔 (I the color blind fan) But the banana on her right shoulder? Cal, in my book, might only need a slight upturn to the corners of her mouth?
Other smarter, more painterly followers have noted how you have developed your techniques. Not an art critic I, my gut instincts tell me much the same. I just remembered your recent remarks about the origin of dis-ease. Mind over gut? That gives greater depth to “gut instincts.” 🤷🏽
Drip, drip, drip! I passed my blood tests and the day’s infusions have begun!
Send me an uplifting song recommendation for my long sit?
Banana is supposed to be a crescent moon! On her other shoulder! Planet earth! She is the muse of astronomy after all. 😉 Glad to keep teasing out these portraits. Work or play? In my mind… play!
Gut instinct… this is how I want the muses to look and the practice is neither too hard or too easy. Just right! Colors bleeding through their skin.
CURE indeed. Once I have sent cancer packing… I’m going to walk el Camino de Santiago.
This is one of the songs I heard on my drive thus morning:
Music is to me a tonic for the soul. Thanks for Tom’s tonic today. 😬
As I rushed out the door for a Dr appointment I remembered my hearing aids! So I rushed back to put them on and take flight. Well, they conveniently pair with my phone which allows adjustments to sound properties. But only if I pair them!
I had not. 😱 Which allows the sound (Tim) to play through my phone speakers and not the aids. Oops! I hit play and startled half the waiting area. 😔 Fifty mea culpas later and Tim was in my ears...
Did I ever tell you I’m not the sharpest knife in the drawer? Nonetheless delighted with today’s music exchange!
Nia is meant to be more purple. 🤷♀️ I like the lightness of face color shades on Thalia. I’ll try for that with Harmony (Cal) and Determination (Nia). ♥️💚💜
The not-sharp-knife again. It registered finally where “IF THIS IS IT” came from. Sly move! Slow brain. Huey was a baseball player before he realized line drives to the helmet were far less likely on stage... 🤪
Tal really has my number! Sometimes mysteries are best left unresolved. Then rigorous honesty comes into play. The “cosmic intrusion” label was my effort to glorify my typos! Yeah, ill conceived of course. Sometimes one really can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear. 🤔
Thanks, Cal, for your generous effort. And Nia, I’ll watch these little fingers more closely lest I prompt a massive asteroid collision.

-Heraclitus
The quote you shared from Heraclitus is one of my all time favorites!
Cal wants different hair. Nia wants better celestial representation. Thalia is pleased as punch and is going to take a nap. 😊
A nap sounds amazing!

Best wishes on today’s care.
CURE!

CURE!
My knife must be dull, too! Who are Tom and Tim? Did you mean Huey?
Love them all- even the pink!
Nia is meant to be more purple. 🤷♀️ I like the lightness of face color shades on Thalia. I’ll try for that with Harmony (Cal) and Determination (Nia). ♥️💚💜
I love them all! They will come to be what they will be!
It is fun to be loose and playful with them.
Perhaps we could refer to them as cosmic intrusions? Messages from the Universe…
“Just who is the Spangler fellow?” Tal scowled. “Calling us intrusions!”
“His typing is off today Tal,” said Cal. “He meant infusions! I’m sure of it.”
“Tom” is a typo. Tim is Tim McGraw. I hope this full knife syndrome isn’t contagious!
😂 just oneof those days!
Got it now!
To make me even more dull, “dull” became “full” in my previous reply. 🤷🏽🤷🏽 😁
I didn’t even notice! A perpetual typo Typist is very accepting of others who share her mistake-ridden condition. 😂
I love these drawings so much! The first and especially the green one: splendid.
Thank you Marijke! I’m excited to keep working with them. 😊

So Many Colors Of The Rainbow, by Harry Chapin. I may have shared this in the past, but seems a good fit for creative Paintists!
Know any??😬
Thank you for the song! Perfect!
I love it!
Thanks Pennie. Ready to practice more. 🎉
