It was beautiful reading your description of the steps of your work process @reinhard-schmid, it was like the scene of a movie. It must be so beautiful being a painter :)
Your account of your father made my heart sink a little (if you allow me to be completely honest), but it was nice to hear he is and has always been a calm person. He must be filled with inner peace. I remember you told me not long ago (after Christmas?) that you were thinking of your parents with admiration for the choices they have made in life. How nice!
As for Entering the Circle; yes, I had already checked on Amazon, saw the price and read some (very good) reviews. Definitely on my list !! Sorry to hear about your CD ... oh Gosh! Doesn't that always happen?!
Best and lots of love :)
I feel very privileged with my job and that I am able to make a living as an artist. It can be quite frustrating at times, hard and difficult to accomplish what you want... but then it is often very rewarding, like today, when something gets finished and you are just so totally in love with what you created...
I have come to really admire my parents, but the man I talked about was my Grandfather. My mom's dad. Hope I didn't give you too much of a bad feeling. He was never in one of the death camps. But locked up for some time for being an "enemy of the state" for being a "communist"... just a kind and peaceful man who believed in sharing. Later he was sent to the East front to probably get killed, but he spoke Polish and Russian and repeatedly made friends with the enemies... sorry, looks like I'm getting carried away too far off topic.
Haha... yes, that lost CD really bothers me. And nobody offers a download (must be the shamanic thing). I did see a (used) CD for sale at over 300,- I'd like to have one, but not for that price!
Just read your "Introducing Myself / A letter for the Steemit community" post again, to hopefully get to know you a little better. Had to smile, seeing you with that book about Chile.. I have a colleague there who looks very much like what one can see of you on that photo. Very skilled painter.
Looking forward to what you will tell us next. In the meantime, I see a lot of the past posts looking very interesting!
