Your description made me think of my ninety-something-year-old Aunt Mary. For as long as I can remember, she has been showing up at family gatherings with the most incredible and scrumptious desserts... massive cheesecakes, dense fruitcakes, and every kind of Italian cookie you can imagine. We always shower her with praise, and she invariably says, "No, they didn't turn out right at all! It's that damn oven!"Elizabeth A Pattersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15778597192120050051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5635140763832347007.post-70454400552794363802007-06-20T23:52:00.000-04:002007-06-20T23:52:00.000-04:00I am always amused by what people think of their o...I am always amused by what people think of their own work. Terrible painters are praised as if they were the second coming of Leonardo and they believe it. A good painter such as yourself can always be relied upon to excuse their work due to unfavourable conditions or ciecumstances. I look at it and say to myself, I cuddna painted that with permanently preserved fruit, the best materials and tools, and a year to paint it.Ron Morrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10787006578615434837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5635140763832347007.post-29563628040571768872007-06-20T15:22:00.000-04:002007-06-20T15:22:00.000-04:00Looks good to me just as it is.
