Thanks!!!

To those of you who sent feedback, THANKS for all of your comments! And for all of your encouragement and compliments. :) It really means the world to me and feeds my spirit to keep going.

I want to compile them here (received by email or on the blog), so I'll leave them anonymous, unless I hear from you otherwise! I colored the quotes to denote different people. So, quotes next to each other of the same color are from one person around the same time. My comments will be in bold black text.

What a great idea!
I'm sure you won't mind my giving you some positive input. I think you have expressed yourself very well and I'm impressed! I'm not an expert, but for a beginner, I think your drawings are GREAT! Keep up the good work.

We just saw your work in progress and we are both impressed! You definitely have talent and keep up the good work. We hope it leads you to a happy and prosperous future.

I like what you're doing and think you're progressing well in your sculpture and drawing pictures. I like the expression on the bust and I could see that you caught the movement in those two ladies. Keep going for it! I appreciate what you're doing. It looks like you're becoming more and more professional. You have a talent. I can see that. Good eye!

I like your title as a "Born-Again Artist". You are following your heart and I wish you much success :)

These drawings are evidence that you have not lost your natural talents. After a long span of time away from putting the pencil to paper, they are actually very good drawings. It's not easy to NOT compare yourself to your other classmates, but realize that you will hone your skills in YOUR OWN TIME.

Nice work! , really like the drawings texture. You rock. Maybe you could help me draw up an idea for a tattoo I have?

Love your first efforts, they are great; love your title as well. Keep up the good work, I am rooting for you.

You are SO creative - can't access your blog here at work, but look forward from home. If I'm not reading about you in Art In America or some other artistic zine from my bed in the nursing home, I'll be totally surprised. You're going to make it big!!! Keep up the positive attitude!! You rock.

The Poster Person for taking life as it is and making it what you want it to be - wonderful, wonderful work. Then again, you know I knew, now we all know you rock!

hi,

been a while since i checked your blog. took a peek today. your skills are progressing! i really like your figure models. you style is developing.... slender, edgy, good texture in the forms. nice work, tania.

Cool blog, miss T! Your stuff is great! You are very talented.

Tania, I like the way you put yourself out there. I am so pleased that you sent me your blog. i think that you are letting it all hang out, and I admire you for it.

I like that!!! Born Again Artist. Its like Born Again Christian with a twist.
You can redefine the idea of art!
Love it love it love it!!!!

COOL. i took a fast peek. you're talented....

Tania: I am very impressed with this blog and your artwork. Especially since you just started your classes. Stay with it and you will become a very good artist and hopefully you will be able to earn a good living with your creativity.

These are great! You can only get better! I hope that you are enjoying the classes. I have been an Artist for about 15 years now, and I can't do any of the work that your Analysis class teaches you how to do. Keep it up and you will soar! Your name doesn't show up once in your web-sight?!? You should be proud of it and blaze it somewhere across the page in big letters!

Note: The person who wrote the above paragraph was referring to the drawing class. I took his advice and put my name on the blog. He was one of my admissions counselors.

Wow! Impressive!!! Tania. I really appreciate you sharing your blog with me. Not only is your work exquisite, I love the blog! What a great idea. Please feel free to post information about your blog in a public space in this class...like the instructor's office!
Major kudos to you!
