Sigh.
I just spent a half hour typing up, what I thought was a stellar discussion on the function of our left vs. right brain and the role our brain functioning plays in the type of art we create.
I hit 'publish post' and the whole blog was lost.
Basically, more left brained people, who are logical and steeped in reason tend to produce highly realistic art. More right brained people, who are more intuitive and abstract in their thinking produce art which is highly abstract.
People who can switch easily between hemispheres create art which is considered 'representational'. This means you can tell what it is, but it isn't necessarily highly realistic.
I thought the whole notion (which was brought forth by fellow KWSA member Diane Eastham at a monthly KWSA meeting last night) was an interesting one.
I feel completely bummed out that my lengthy (and in my mind) well written article was lost.
Live and learn.
If the auto-draft at the bottom of the page is reading 'error' copy the article before trying to post, and save yourself the agony of the lost article and time.
