My artist retrospective would include Oil, acrylic, watercolor painting, pottery, photography, print making, fashion, clay modelling, sculpture, weaving, rug making, applique, collage, jewellery, carving, quilting, illustration, mosaic, macrame, crochet, etc. etc. Then there are inventions, poetry, copy writing, public speaking, teaching, blogging and books. Being such a multi faceted person has it's good and it's bad points, one downside is being criticized for lack of focus and spreading myself too thin.
I feel justified in my pursuit of all things artistic when I see an artist like Alexander Calder or Picasso that excelled in many media and made it through all the criticism.
ALEXANDER CALDER (August 22, 1898 – November 11, 1976) was an American sculptor known as the originator of the mobile, a type of moving sculpture made with delicately balanced or suspended shapes that move in response to touch or air currents.
He also created graphics, oil paintings, jewelery, wire sculptures, wood carvings, monumental sculptures, toys, wall sculptures, works on paper, found object sculptures and unique projects.
