I do wholeheartedly agree with you about imperfection in art. After all, imperfections can be the start of innovation. Actually we all loved our art teacher – and we learned a lot from him.

Art school flashbacks! Those art instructors do leave a lasting impression on the soul don't they? One of the things that I love most about art is its imperfection. Even the masters frequently redrew and painted over their work in the almost constant pursuit of perfection that can never be achieved. It can only be dreamed about, sweated over and stroved for. For me, art is a journey without a final destination, but hopefully some lovely trips along the way. Oh no! Art school flashbacks!

Years of drawing, throwing away, frustration and elation make an artist and even then there are flaws in every finished product.

What fun you are. And how well you write, my British friend. I'm sitting here in my northern Ohio home, watching the leaves dance about, and thinking how I'd love to jump on that under-the-channel ride with you to the Louvre. Count your blessings, Owl-buddy. Oh, I quite agree about the owl in the hand of the goddess. Yours is far more believable. :) Hahaha! What fun you are. And how well you write, my British friend.
