Between the Lines

Last weekend conversation turned to quality in art making. 

I listened like a good host.

Before long there were questions about colouring between the lines. 

It was noted that some artists coloured very neatly and between the lines 

while others never felt that necessary or desirable. 

It seemed the room was divided on the subject after that.

My thoughts turned to expectations and motivations and how artists 

overcome fears that accompany art making. 

Working from different points but with common motivation. 

Working from the heart creating work worth consideration. 

I didn't see a problem. It reminded me of the story Blind Men and the Elephant
