Painting Surface

[Enyaw]

LOL .. I though Iain was Lain and Lain is female. She (he) corrected me the other day. The name is sort of like FLICK .. easily misread.

I recently learned that there was a famous male Carol. Musket sent me a Wiki link, but now I can't find it. I was considering changing my name before that, but I'm just going to keep Carol because everyone knows me as Carol and maybe it could be considered male or female. Or maybe that's a stretch, I don't know.

 

[snoball]

Could easily be considered either. Female is generally spelled Carol or Carole and male usually Carol or Carroll.

 

[Iain]

The name Carol means Free Person Or Song and is of English origin. Carol is name that's been used by parents who are considering unisex or non-gendered baby names--baby names that can be used for any gender. Originally a feminine form of the name Charles or Carl.

Might Caryl or Carl be close enough to Carol that a change could be had without too much disruption?

Imagine if one shortened Carol to Car. then, with Es, Car Es sounds like caress. Who CarEs?

 

[Artyczar]

That's funny Iain, my Artist's book press is called Careless Press.

I wouldn't change to Carl, too much like a male name, and Caryl sounds too fem to me. I'm keeping it Carol and leaving it alone. It's bad enough I have a strange last name. I only thought about changing my name because my partner did, but then I realized that didn't mean I had to too. That's too copycat.

In a previous life I had a large bedroom with a northern aspect. Now I share a room in the basement.

 

[Enyaw]

looks like you got the king's share

Interesting thread and great to see where everyone paints.

 

[Artyczar]

Claude, at least it looks like you're getting some work done!

 

[Bizzibee]

Bongo, you made me laugh - I love Austin!
Claude that is a great set-up!

 

[Claude J Greengrass]

Claude, at least it looks like you're getting some work done!

I am now, but C-19 depression stopped me from painting for 3-4 months!

 

[Artyczar]

I feel you.

 

[Artyczar]

I've been working more, so is this any better?

 

[Bizzibee]

It is a work of art, Arty and what's more I see one of my paints!

 

[snoball]

Still much too neat.

 

[Claude J Greengrass]

Still much too neat.

I agree. I subscribe to the theory that a neat desk is a sign of a sick mind.

 

[Iain]

It could just be that you have your shit together.

 

[Artyczar]

I know it's not that Iain.

Glad you are able to work again it makes me worse when I can't paint
