I love your attitude and see that you are having fun. So much can be discovered through experimenting with materials... things that can endure in your work. I especially enjoy your play with color in the bottle series.

To me, the roots of the trees, like the roots of anything, become as interesting in an(or even more so) than the &quot;visible&quot; subject matter. Thank you for brightening my day with your paintings!Debbiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00307131161377990035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-391382377419673606.post-71123306015683972152011-08-22T04:44:08.013-07:002011-08-22T04:44:08.013-07:00These are wonderful!

Experimental mark-making at it&#39;s best. Did you use the results as a jumping off point, or do the results stand on their own without more traditional markmaking added in?eraethilhttp://eraethil.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-391382377419673606.post-43431369208715152742009-09-13T15:18:05.517-07:002009-09-13T15:18:05.517-07:00Glad you came back to check it out Trish.mbschiroshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16664048356254547087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-391382377419673606.post-28144454935943660232009-09-13T11:35:38.686-07:002009-09-13T11:35:38.686-07:00I just found your blog through wetcanvas-I signed up there awhile ago, but I always forget about, so I haven&#39;t looked around too much-glad I made it there today!

Especially the a lot more room! I'm jealous! <BR/><BR/>teaching would be a trip. I know what you mean trying to explain what you do without thinking. I had that a little with my daughter.
