Like the writings are still goood ..Ralph asked us to be honest.. serious honest. to let him know when he should move on.. <br />well right now I like his writings and if the people that read his blog a lot, (like you and me jc) feel differently he would want to know...<br /> so I offered my genius critique..

It's good because you went home .. still with those thoughts in your mind... and immediately put it on canvas.. I am not surprised that it sold so quickly... as for your words/poems/writings, I'll be the first to tell you to stop... How's that? For now you can write... lol !Barbra Joanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08263982645593300365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6252122811035264254.post-90079572287335140272010-11-22T11:48:25.835+00:002010-11-22T11:48:25.835+00:00Wonderful painting !!Wonderful painting !!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6252122811035264254.post-18844763694465979472010-11-22T11:08:17.316+00:002010-11-22T11:08:17.316+00:00Good Morning Ralph, my dog wanted to chase a racoo...Good Morning Ralph, my dog wanted to chase a racoon and although he only stares them down he won't let me sleep until he has fulfilled his destiny! Today will be a great day for him, the mighty hunter!<br />I didn't get to watch your painting from the beginning; that would have been wonderful to see unfold! You will discover that writing, especially poetry, moreso poetry, is the very same experience. I reccomended a book yesterday in my blog and will encourage you to pick it up.<br />It is available on Amazon for the price of an ale<br />and is worth several hundred times that amount. "West with the Night" by Beryl Markham.<br />It takes place in Africa but it is not important what it is about; it is a wonderful read for the use of the English language. Think of it as a box<br />of paint brushes for an inspiring poet!Jerry Carlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10024087888949143035noreply@blogger.com
