Gorgeous! I appreciate the dramatic lighting and beautiful colours- well done!

Always fascinating to learn about other artist's inspiration and processes. Thank you for sharing!

I am so old-school that when I can't get to a real art shop due to the distance, I will ring the online shop (Australia) and talk through the details of the product if it is new to me- or the description is unclear.

Really splurged last week. I was in the city visiting grandkids and went to a traditional art supply shop. It has been open for 65 years and is like a step back in time to visit. Because I live in an isolated area and usually shop online- this was a real treat. I bought some small unprimed box...
