I love your patience with your process. And I love hearing about your process. Wishing I could just sit and watch from the back of the studio!<br /><br />Am loving the subtlety (as always) of your colours and how they flow over the canvas. And I am a big fan of texture, how colours seep into crevices and hollows so I love this about your work.<br /><br />Looking forward again to the next peek! Hope life is swimming along smoothly for you.ZenDotStudiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06051368546505731081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4489983833887607732.post-30156719846032564442011-11-26T06:46:47.364-08:002011-11-26T06:46:47.364-08:00Hi Robyn, Judy, and Carole . .Thank you and I appr...Hi Robyn, Judy, and Carole . .Thank you and I appreciate your visit and comments!

Sometimes it's a struggle to stop before one over works a piece but you're lucky that it is fairly easy to make changes or scrape back with this medium, which must take the pressure off. I'm enjoying the verticals especially in the last photo......In fact I love it just the way it is.
