Thomasin, I hardly know how to respond, but I am deeply grateful for your words. Actually I thought it would be fun to show some childhood drawings because children's un-selfconscious work is so revealing--uncensored, as you say by the adult veneer and polish. I agree it is important not to lose, or at least to return to, the direct expression we had as children.
Enzie, thank you also for saying such nice things. I think all artsts' work must contain those essential distinguishing characteristics from the beginning. Glad you brought up that quote of Heidi's--maybe "childhood portraits" would be a good thread for the Cafe section. Woudn't it be fun to see people's first efforts?
