Comments on: Some Paintings http://www.nicelady.net/2008/12/some-paintings/ Every man's work, whether it be literature or music or pictures or architecture or anything else, is always a portrait of himself. --Samuel Butler Thu, 09 Jun 2011 20:18:30 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Lunamoth http://www.nicelady.net/2008/12/some-paintings/comment-page-1/#comment-27 Lunamoth Sat, 03 Jan 2009 14:01:17 +0000 http://www.nicelady.net/?p=27#comment-27 Thank you! But, I'd likely be just as impressed by your mathematical skills. In school I was fine at geometry, lousy at algebra and I totally steered clear of calculus. Have you heard of the book "Frames of Mind -- the Theory of Multiple Intelligences", by Howard Gardner? He's identified different types of intelligences, and outlines how each of them can be as much an asset as any other. It does fill me with a sense of wonder, how different each human being is. I do believe that everyone has something they can excel at, and that people who don't have that particular skill will see it as akin to a magical power. Thank you!

Not only the painting but the knitting. As someone who knits as a mathematical exercise I am in awe of your skills. I’m very impressed with your artistry. Not only the painting but the knitting.
