Second, I remember, vividly, watching I WANT TO LIVE on late night TV in the 1970's (complete with used-car ads) with a committed advocate of the death penalty.

I know some young women who are indeed encouraged to pursue art, but I also know some who have been discouraged. Depending upon the temperament, some of them find the challenge ("you aren't very good") a prod to creativity, while I've known at least one who has been given a free pass to whatever she wants in the way of tools, as long as they are of interest to her. She's darn good, and I also encourage her like I was encouraged and am honest in the critique area.<br /><br />Thanks for the heads up on Diane Browning!MrCachethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17380421021822593083noreply@blogger.com
