Re: You're Not Alone!

"I have all my life been told how "different", "unique", etc., I am -- and believe me, it's not a compliment in many instances!"

Yeah, Linda, I think a lot of artists get told they're "different," but for a whole lot of reasons. Sometimes its because of the kind of awe you get from people who don't believe they can "draw a straight line" (who can?) and sometimes its the mystique of "artist," and sometimes it's different personality types. Who can really say? In my own case, my wife has told me for thirty years that I'm not from this planet, so I guess my experience is similar.
