I really enjoyed reading “The Role of Drawing”, about how you first started drawing, how it has influenced your development as an artist, and your thoughts about the value of exhibiting artists’ drawings. Great photo too!
I look forward to more insightful blogs to come…

]]> Comment on Thoughts about Art: Is it Necessary to Have Talent to be a Painter? by Alexandra http://www.deirdremccay.com/thoughts-about-art-is-it-necessary-to-have-talent-to-be-a-painter/comment-page-1/#comment-5 Alexandra Sat, 15 May 2010 18:18:45 +0000 http://www.deirdremccay.com/?p=1167#comment-5 For me painting is sort of like dancing - some people do have a raw/natural 'talent', but it is raw/natural and it can only reach it's full potential once one perseveres and believes. This is why you see many who don't have that natural ability but are more actively creative than those who do have it but don't use it. I think that having a 'talent' means that one's creativity is more dynamic and accessible. This is my opinion :) For me painting is sort of like dancing – some people do have a raw/natural ‘talent’, but it is raw/natural and it can only reach it’s full potential once one perseveres and believes.
