Right Brain vs Left Brain

Thanks Vivian for this, now I know where I am when I'm creating......!  My right brain.

The Right Brain

According to the left-brain, right-brain dominance theory, the right side of the brain is best at expressive and creative tasks. Some of the abilities that are popularly associated with the right side of the brain include:
·         Recognizing faces
·         Expressing emotions
·         Music
·         Reading emotions
·         Color
·         Images
·         Intuition
·         Creativity

The Left Brain

The left-side of the brain is considered to be adept at tasks that involve logic, language and analytical thinking. The left-brain is often described as being better at:
·         Language
·         Logic
·         Critical thinking
·         Numbers
·         Reasoning

This is my latest fibre art piece.  I took a picture up at Loon Lake at the UBC Research Forest overlooking the lake.   I hand painted the background onto silk, then continued to build from there trying to get a 3D effect.  I tried to make it into a small quilt, but it just screamed out to be framed under class.  Any comments would be appreciated.
