Caitlin's Grandfather living in Western Australia sent the newspaper article to us in the Blue Mountains "express" as he too was in complete awe of such incredible talent!<br />Having been an educationalist and Mother who has observed artists for such a long time now I do beg to differ to your comments made in many respects.<br />Firstly artists are born, obviously later discovered. "Real Art" could never be called trash , even those pieces highly criticized, as all art comes from the soul. Also, particularly considering the minutes, hours ,days and weeks spent on sections of a final piece and even then still always knowing that the final piece will be in fact highly criticized anyway , by yes, you guessed it, usually the true artist themselves, at point blank range too. Yet they continue their quest for the ultimate perception of perfection.Hence the artist...<br />Many pieces of art are actually created to provide opportunity for the admirer and the observer to feel anything but depressed.<br />That I will believe will always be the opportunity for the artist to unload their depression to a certain degree and possibly then allow the admirer to unload theirs. It is then at that" precise moment "that i believe truly defines the piece of which we call real art -the silence...<br />It is not just that crowds have wisdom they do in fact and have always had a natural connection with art from the beginning of time. To mirror that innate image is to in fact easily demonstrate the outright ability to perform art for those around you.Your gift so to speak.<br />Yes real art is what we will forever expect as no different to expecting a toddlers' very first piece of paint art...<br />On a final note,irrespective of whether life to a certain degree does in fact become elusive is by the by.<br />Caitlin has already proven herself to be well above this anyway ,<br />as for all the minutes ,hours,days,weeks and months she has already handed over to her lifetime already, from no doubt a very young age I do believe it actually goes without even questioning....in real time she will always in some way shape or form, no matter her journey throughout "elusive life", she will return eventually to being as she was "born" the "real artist", and i am certain that those who have known her really well all her life would have to agree........such is "elusive" life anyway......<br />Good Luck Caitlin...<br />Next Europe and then the Heavens......Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-338282356490283587.post-2117287385654067692012-04-06T11:46:38.521+08:002012-04-06T11:46:38.521+08:00Not the best angle for the painting but the young ...Not the best angle for the painting but the young lady's skill is definitely evident.<br />I used to like reading Giles Auty's columns on art in the Australian. He was quite plainspoken in his opinions on art theory, and of course he was reviled for that. A loss for art and artists everywhere when Auty went quiet.<br />Incidentally, <a href="http://yelpar.blogspot.com.au/2012/02/mystery.html" rel="nofollow">I have some unkind opinions about modern art myself.</a>Gregoryno6http://gregoryno6.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
