Excellent sense of distance in this. It's a beauty!

Terri - Superpower :ROFLMAO: Thank you

The flowers really do anchor the whole thing. That was a good plan!

I’m glad you found something useful in my attempts at abstraction, Wayne. This is so cool, an interesting vibration between real and abstract. I see the flowers but the other elements in the room are trying to defy definition. They all seem to exist in harmony and that’s what makes me admire...

Hi Jo, Paula Ford was the Tree Queen! Her work was very inspiring to me and she was generous in sharing her helpful demos. I was a total beginner in pastels and she always gave kind advice. Thank you so much.

I am in awe too, Grapes: one hour and such a beautiful painting! The patchwork fields in the distance are almost as appealing as the sheep but who could resist those wooly models. Thank you for sharing the photos. It looks like everyone enjoyed being there.

I love this, Jade! Cute little dumpster divers with their finds. Is this a gift or will you keep it for yourself?

It’s nice to see you again, Murray. Wonderful work on those trees! They are so beautiful as they catch the sunlight on their trunks.
