My attitude towards them, and to the care home residents is one of respect and compassion.<br />We are trusted, professional artists of the highest integrity- your ill-thought remarks reflect your own inability to see the difference between compassion and patronisation,and they have no base in reality.Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10045812978614550446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8732916056750859428.post-44177169414404519822012-02-28T21:55:15.093+01:002012-02-28T21:55:15.093+01:00Youe work is very good, however I think your attit...Youe work is very good, however I think your attitude is patronising, if I were a resident of a care home I think I might just be insulted,Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8732916056750859428.post-8742052412283067722011-06-27T16:50:40.944+02:002011-06-27T16:50:40.944+02:00Geraldine, belated thanks!Geraldine, belated thanks!Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10045812978614550446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8732916056750859428.post-30676237214713897132011-05-25T00:22:10.292+02:002011-05-25T00:22:10.292+02:00Fascinating, thank you. and lovely drawings.Fascinating, thank you. and lovely drawings.Geraldinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08641973845160541313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8732916056750859428.post-19146440954319474922011-05-19T12:49:47.261+02:002011-05-19T12:49:47.261+02:00Stuart and Gabrielle, thank you.
