Ha! Ha! <br /><br />Love the geometrics. I was quilting today & your very straight line building paintings came to my mind. Do you still have those?

Debbie also had a question about that expression and I really think (as I mentioned in my reply to her) that it is just a saying that suggests that it is good to find people that you have things in common with, who think similarly to you or who maybe even have a similar art making approach. In the context of the conversation I had with my friend, we actually were discussing different types of art and art making ideas. After her comment, I realized that you really do need others in your circle who are similar to you. But, as you mentioned above, individuality is also critical. I believe that you need a balance of the two things.<br /><br />Always nice to have your perspective. It's appreciated!<br />LibbyLibby Fifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13532162740012986996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2899715599676824140.post-45404452593454702062017-12-08T08:49:42.138-08:002017-12-08T08:49:42.138-08:00Debbie,

I think that for many creatives (and most people in general) it's good to find others that share similar viewpoints, make similar work or have a similar approach. It's hard to fit a square peg in to a round hole, if that makes sense. And in the opposite way, differing viewpoints or approaches help to broaden perspective don't they? when you are looking to join a group or even make friends, you want to find someone in your "own tribe" which is really just a euphemism in my opinion for finding someone that you have something in common with. Hope this helps a bit!<br /><br />Always glad when you visit. I hope that things are going well!<br />LibbyLibby Fifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13532162740012986996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2899715599676824140.post-80174541870201719262017-12-06T08:20:59.518-08:002017-12-06T08:20:59.518-08:00Dear Libby - I am not quite sure what is meant by ...Dear Libby - I am not quite sure what is meant by your own tribe. If it means someone likes your work or if they do the same type of art - then perhaps I get it. Otherwise I am confused. In any case I really like your geometric work Libby - so maybe you have found your tribe :)!

But as an artist, I think we are always individuals. I believe in your explorations and your results. I believe they are the result of your individuality. We "met" through the blog posts of Nicholas Wilton. One of his that he just repeated, was the admonition to always ask yourself "what inspires you?" I believe, through your blog posts, you have lived that question, Libby. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03386488617374144819noreply@blogger.com
