As I'm spending the day at the easel today painting a very beautiful woman, I'm wondering if I feel the same. Do I find them BEAUTIFUL? or innerly beautiful and outwardly perhaps otherwise? I think I respond if I find someone strikingly beautiful. If they are just normal, I think I'm less prone to respond one way or another. If they have strikingly jarring features, I think my initial response is to feel repugnance. Then I catch myself and soothe myself and approach them more neutrally. But I have to admit to that initial response. Is that cultural? biological? personal? Not sure.Susan Singerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15671344932984846207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2007302601627741320.post-73764181469184753792010-02-03T14:31:28.022-05:002010-02-03T14:31:28.022-05:00this is what I emailed to Susan earlier today:
HI ...this is what I emailed to Susan earlier today:<br />HI Susan<br />I have tried to answer your blog question several times now, but I keep getting bogged down with rambling thoughts. It's been a really difficult question to answer, as it isn't nearly as simple as it sounds. It's quite multi-faceted. <br /> I found myself editing my words, rethinking my ideas, censoring what I'd share, realizing I find most humans beautiful with rare exception, wanting to include men in the conversation (as objects of beauty), wondering how much of my thoughts were influenced by art training and how much by my upbringing and/or what I am accustomed to. <br />See? I keep going on....<br /><br />What a question!Adelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03064314452903527430noreply@blogger.com
