I'd love to share it with folks who might not be reading yours. This painting has really caught my attention...I keep going back to look at it over and over thinking about how you planned it out and how you got the textures in the leaf shapes AFTER the mask came off and what mixture of colors did you use for the night sky? I sure hope you'll talk more about this painting! It's mesmerizing.Ginny Stileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05398435606793199775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2801228006912771852.post-56543176004436784812010-01-09T23:58:14.102-08:002010-01-09T23:58:14.102-08:00I totally agree with all the wonderful comments.Lo...I totally agree with all the wonderful comments.Love that you shared the sinking feeling partial through but you sure pulled off a winner.Can't wait to see it in TWSAKaaren Oreckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17789752895701747872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2801228006912771852.post-50284920268530868112010-01-09T16:00:47.713-08:002010-01-09T16:00:47.713-08:00Thanks, Dean, Deb, and Ginny!!

I haste...I have never seen anything quite like it. I hasten to add that I am so intrigued and amazed. Putting the dark dark "nightness" onto the painting at the end. That was really outside the box thinking. AND the twinkling lights...I am LOVING them. Perfect. There are so few nigh time paintings that when you do see one so well executed it just knocks your socks off! Perhaps having the deadline added to the way you pulled it off. Sometimes I do better under a little pressure? In any case thank you SO much for sharing.Ginny Stileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05398435606793199775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2801228006912771852.post-4129506428429153382010-01-09T11:36:52.883-08:002010-01-09T11:36:52.883-08:00Very cool - and different from your usual work!
