Good to have you calling.<br /><br /><b>haricot</b><br />t's always great to get compliments. of course, but only sincere ones help the art along. I would have thought that most would like an honest assessment.<br /><br /><b>Hank</b><br />Yes, I think you've summed up the change to perfection. Thanks.<br /><br /><b>Monika</b><br />Thank you very much for those thoughts. I'm inclined to agree. At art school we used to argue about who was best placed to judge a work of art, the artist or the art lover. The artist because only he knew what he had tried to do, and therefore whether he had been successful. The spectator because he brought fresh eyes - or ears - to it and maybe saw things there the artist had not even suspected.<br /><br /><b>Jim</b><br />Yes, you're absolutely right, though I must admit I'd not thought of it that way before. It is so much more difficult for the creators of some art forms to get feedback than for others. And it is necessary to consider the level of understanding of the one who judges. Readers, listeners, spectators bring different levels of understanding to a work - and maybe jointly discover different levels in the work.<br />My experience has been not unlike yours!<br /><br /><b>jabblog</b><br />I think it was when I first discovered the benefits of tea!<br /><br /><b>Titus</b><br />Yes, I took an early girl friend there, I remember.<br /><br /><b>David</b><br />Most of what is there for me is happy memories! Thanks for the thought.<br /><br /><b>Brian</b><br />W. S. Graham ("What are the words using us for?"), not a very fashionable poet, I admit, has a whole body of work devoted to this very aspect.<br /><br /><b>Mary</b><br />A lovely comment to have made. Thank you for it.<br /><br /><b>Elizabeth</b><br />A very warm welcome to you, and many thanks for the observation - which fits very well with my experience!<br /><br /><b>Helen</b><br />Thank you so much for that vote of confidence!<br /><br /><b>Rohit</b><br />As marvellous a review as any art-maker could wish for. It is very much appreciated. Thank you for it.<br /><br /><b>Windsmoke</b><br />Thanks so much.<br /><br /><b>Bragon Dorn</b><br />Much thanks for the compliment. Hope your brother likes it!<br /><br /><b>ds</b><br />Thanks for that.

Composers can sit in the audience and filmmakers and playwrights and, as you say, artists can lurk in the background but we poor writers rarely get to sit and watch someone’s reaction as they read and if we do it’s generally our spouses. I’m terrible. I watch her like a hawk when she’s reading a new book but then she’s not one for stroking my ego. When she finished <i>Left</i> all I got was, “It’s good.” And when I pressed her for compliments her response was something along the lines of, “What do you want me to tell you? You know it’s good. You wouldn’t have given me it to read if it wasn’t good.” Tough room my wife.<br /><br>Jim Murdochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12786388638146471193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2508563923634392703.post-754709025589993652012-01-07T08:46:35.533+00:002012-01-07T08:46:35.533+00:00I really wonder sometimes if the spectator views t...I really wonder sometimes if the spectator views the art the same way as the artist does, while making it, while exhibiting it.
