Great stuff, guys. Much godly wisdom. Scott, "Science and Art may come from different parts of our brain , but they both come from the same place in our heart." That's worth repeating. I just did.

Hey Scott, thanks for the uplift...very badly needed this week. I'm in a situation right now where my contract position comes to an end. Last year, when I began to consistently paint, it was my hope that by June this year, I would be done with testing. Well, I may get my 'wish.' June seems to be it. Except I don't think I'm ready. But I'm pushing forward. Thanks again.

I'll continue exploration of technology; I enjoy it. I'll build stuff with my sons and the like. And hopefully, one day, I can see the connection between the two.

Eddie....I am thinking this morning that your choice between science and art was not really a choice between opposites. Rather, I think they are twins that we separate at birth. Both seek truth. Both seek wholeness. Both seek to understand life and shed light on that understanding so others will see what we have discovered. And both are always seeking whatever is over the horizon. In those moments of discovery, it's as if God whispers, "Pretty cool, huh? Wait and see what I have for you next." Science and Art may come from different parts of our brain , but they both come from the same place in our heart.

I remember as a child when I considered what I wanted to be, my choices were always 'scientist' or 'artist.' It drove me crazy that I couldn't figure it out. Wow, does that play out in my life to date! I've enjoyed my time as a 'scientist' - software tester - but because art has been the 'missing link' for me, I feel I have to get back to it. If anything, I could help my son with his robotics activities to exercise the science. Or help folks with computer issues.

Would we call the universe and all its components art or science? Because it was created with love, I think (to mirror Scott) the Artist definitely wanted to communicate with the observer. We also read that it pleased Him. Does that address the personal satisfaction in creating or in sharing the creation? I think both.

isn't it odd that we insist that things be on a canvas just so,-structure- or words carefully chosen- structure- a photo cropped just so- structure, but we struggle to do what we need to do to be able to follow our hearts... Art has to be very important, otherwise why all the opposition!

I know structure is important and that nothing is really achievable without it. But... I'm someplace between a structure and plan and flying by the seat of my pants. I've decided for today, now, it's one of those times structure is necessary, so I'll give it a shot. But I'm telling you this is difficult.

Right now structure feels like something I'm incapable of. I know I am but this is one of those uphill battle weeks.

what is windows of the soul and when will you start this? my house is available if you need a place to hold it. love and admire you

Wow.........some great discussion going on here. Scott, what you had to say about what you put into your pieces was absolutely incredible. I want to read it again and just absorb it. You are an amazing example of someone who really has a gift and that gift definitely blesses others because each piece you do has a story that can resonate with the soul of the viewer. (I have seen Scott's work and it is beyond excellent) Roy and Billie...........great comments and dialog. Billie, the photo you did is awesome. You know there has to be a close link between science and art. The stereotypical scientist doesn't seem to fit the profile we often attribute to an artist.......yet I am in awe of several people in my art class each week who are science "nerds" by their own admission and who have day jobs in engineering......yet are incredible artists. And Jillian.........you are too sweet. I am considering teaching Windows of the Soul again and including some art classes with it...........so perhaps you will get the opportunity to "sit" with me in a class.........I am not opposed to this. thanks for the compliments..........I still prefer writing over drawing............
