The trenches are tough. I'm glad you find peace in your art.
The Dolphins melt my heart. You know I have a thing for them 🐬

Correct... good people lift others.
some people steer and some dont.......i prefer those who dont.......any more than anyone likes to be told what the put on their hot dog.......why counseors think their version is somehow the hot dog or the pizza........mysteriy to me..........i dont appreicate the .........the ok ness list........
why i move on.......or ignore it...........dont know why the state whould say or have except at extremes..........u can vacaton here but not here..........????????????? the ok lists..........steerng........peronaly i dont apprecait how counsleors do that.........they put thier pants on same as anyhone else........

If someone told me how to have my coffee I think I would snap. This makes so much sense
im 65 --its my life not some parent child relatinship.......do i tel my friends or counselor what he or she can have on their pizza.......or steer them.....no ......then...........why?
no no these are the ok books........that is steering as a parent......im 65 and been on my own since i was 10......
u just learn to shut up to keep the peace but the thoght and the resentment never goes away..........WTH? u can be ur real self around the right people not the allowed answrs or waht they want to hear........

Yes, some people help us form a trust and we can feel free to be who we are. You and I can read a room. We learned it at a young age. It is sad wr have to do it but it's helpful to stay safe from abuse
What do you put on your hotdog lol.... I very rarely eat them but I want onions on the bottom and mustard on top
obvously i use a lot of metaphors but.......yes.......growing up u could feel the tension the second u came in the house........and my twin brother was a preditor.......every night.......when it got ultra quiet.........sure enough.....half way across the floor.........school and riding was an escape.......cant torture u or sabatogue u if ur not there.....or get u into trouble.......hey i was 20 miles away..........he had a million tricks the ultiamte con artist gold bricker....

Each metaphor is spot on to the things we have been through. It's easy to understand if read with an open mind.
long ago i used to design out door horse jumping courses.......each had multiple optons and forced the rider to chose which one was right for his or her horse........the whole lay out the size of golf courses .....was a ton of fun.......ah well .......no one has any idea what im talkin about .....oh well......was a hoot tho.......high high comradarie.....in those days.......

I know what you are talking about
Helping those horses do what they were capable of is huge. Let's not throw the novice in with the trauma patient. You are just setting them up for failure
u work with horses and rather than force them.....they should go where they are suited same as people without gullt.......a society is a societyh not
the chosen three..........what? takes eeryone......some horses like to jump some hate it......some like surgery some are medcine......so what? u find the people suited for that job........its not a competition never was........long as people have a job and money comeng in........
some like ER some are better in this enironment.........soooooooo what??

Correct horses and people will show us what they can do.
I read this saying
Be a bridge not a boulder.
I hung it up at work. You wouldn't believe how many people asked me what it meant. There we have it.
yes as an instructor we are responsible for orchestrating every detail of everyting........well said.......be a huge no no.......but in med they just ream the newbie........be a huge no no .........we...........we are responsible to know .....evryth detail.......and why i tel people ......being a beginner is as important and we dont care but we use that as a guide not a label..........but.........as important as the advanced class........just org groups or ones thinking but..........absoultely NO shame being a beginenr.......as in martial arts......a master .........is a black belt of teaching............not master and slave .......he or she has mastered themselvrs such that they teach facilate not conquer.....
the so called beginners.........wont in the main.........hurt a horse.....happy to brush them and learn the ropes scared to hurt a horse or make a mistake..........advanced riders.........are highly trained and when and when not to use those skills.......per the level of he horse........
such that they do not ask too much of a horse........they are the next levels not following instructions but reading patients and askng appropriate quesitons under the eye of the masters.......develooping the nest generation not in mechanical skills but thinking or reasoning.........
(No..........failure ..........in my class.............i fired him .........long ago.........hes not welcome in my class..........ever) ok anyone being rude to anyohter student....yes will get u bounced..........)
and there is no such ting as failure in art......lke experienments......u learn and tak it forward.......cant do that in ER or medcine............nooooooooooooo thank u.........pass major time
i try and try and try and try.............to get people to understand..............there is no shame........we dont care........if they are a beginner.......in horsemanship..........ithere are grand grand masters ..........in level...........but..............i hae 45 years of teaching...........allllllllllllllllllll levels...........ive taught koreans..............who are petrified ........of horses.............6 weeks later...........they are blowinig by more advanced students with other instructors not to be immodest...............u wont ..........find anyhone more patient ..................than i am ....................and yet................zero friends............no one will take a risk...........to go brush a horses (ooh i know ill look like a fool.........oohoh i know ill look stupid..........short of payin peopl 20 grand which i dont have..........oh i knmow he wont like my art...........heard this a billion times...........frankly give up.........i get fear.............but u wont ever find a more patent teacher than moi...................still....................id kill to hae a friend.........i will train that person.................every nano step............is MY. responsiblty ..............not theirs.................and in MY class..............there is NOOOOOOOOOOO falllure...........its MYYYYYYYYYYYYY class..............and im suuuuuuuuuuper protective..........NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO critics............allowed POSTED)....still............oh................well.......................come on Big Bird.......hows Ernie today? did Cookie Monster change his recipe theser are reallygood ,,,,,,,,,think hed do a carrot cake??
oh well............fear (not in medicine where fear is adaptive) .......fear is our prison............
I like your colors, spacing... and the question
Tk u. V kind people here
Hey Brig, What is a referral photo?
Excellent question. My bad
Any photo that gives the artist information about the subject. I should have said reference photo. Main point is doesn't have to come from imagination. Using photos is fine
Some teachers are purists and in my mind just make learning harder like dolphin said putting boulders in the road not ridges
Like saying well motzart was musical at age three or in riding. The old saying. No such thing as as horse just bad riders. I rage about this as it does so much harm to students I'm contraversial. Too many instructors forgotten whatitslike to be Student. Same with counselors. Wouldu want to work with u. Or doctors. Should bepatients for two months at least. Togetreal perspective. Then the system will change
Students shodbe allowedanytoolthat makes learning easier. And notPurists. Exceptions to allrules but just a,guiding principle. This debate an go back and forth endlessly as instructors. Howformal to get things. Itscomplicated
Diff student learn differently. So some learn indirectly. Whereasotherswant the formal. Apologies for my typing
