Your little tree looks both beautiful and strong. Kind of like the artist who painted it. I like the green going up to the top of the image behind it, and no one does water better than you do!<br /><br />XO BarbaraBarbara Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01342757136485853833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1449698803200850980.post-66029011354934572142011-05-17T09:10:02.560-07:002011-05-17T09:10:02.560-07:00Yes, Don, you are right.

In the end I decided to simplify and kick the colour up a notch for more impact. So glad you like these choices.<br /><br /><br /><br />Hi Sheila,<br /><br />Yes, this project has been a bit of a gift to myself right now. I've been amazed to discover that I do have time to paint everyday.<br /><br />I find it easier to be loose on a small scale- weird, hey? You would think it would be the opposite.<br /><br />And speaking of inspiration... you are one of the most generous bloggers I have come across with your passion to help others through your art; whether it is people or animals.<br /><br /><br />Have a great day,<br />NickiNickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10333869924278210044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1449698803200850980.post-47717663812433674792011-05-17T08:25:21.504-07:002011-05-17T08:25:21.504-07:00I like the looseness in your smaller works.

That's how it should be...<br /><br />I love your color palette for Overwhelmed. Those greens are rich and oh so vibrant.<br /><br />-Don-Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17549962962379079880noreply@blogger.com
