You may be more familiar with the Scandinavian or north European version. In those, the roots go deep and the branches reach to the heavens. The roots of Celtic tree of life, on the other hand, do not separate above and below but reach down and join the roots to make a circle.Vanessa Vailehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04647639725252430851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21245963.post-12880546746161911852007-10-05T14:36:00.000-06:002007-10-05T14:36:00.000-06:00Classes and training are so important.

Passion for art and knowing is important but can not replace skills or knowing how to do, what the ancient Greeks called techne.<BR/> <BR/>Tell me about your avatar. Is it a tree of life?

Glad you are still here - or back or whatever.<BR/><BR/><B>Art, etc</B> is the Thursday painting group. I did think about including it, but then decided not to (better to save it for its very own separate post anyway). It's not really a class or workshop anyway, even if Shirley Simmons gives gentle guidance and tactflly offers suggestions.<BR/><BR/>Come by some Thursday - the "etcetera artists" start around 10 am Thursdays at the Methodist church meeting room and paint through early afternoon, with a potluck lunch break. If you have to leave early, no one throws paint or canvas frames at you. hahaha.Vanessa Vailehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04647639725252430851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21245963.post-43670925518792818462007-10-05T08:29:00.000-06:002007-10-05T08:29:00.000-06:00What about that painting group, what's it called? ...What about that painting group, what's it called?
