    Chris, what a gorgeous painting! I love the angle and the luminous light.

    Question: How did you get the spiral shapes in the sky? Was it on the paper you used, or did you put them there and how? Very cool!

    Thanks, Doris!! Glad you like this painting!

    Thanks, Vicki -- and I agree -- computers give us such a great window on the world!!

    Thanks, Rhonda!! Enjoy the show!!

    Thanks, Elizabeth!! The pattern in the sky is the result of pouring paint onto a stencil, more or less. It's a little tough to explain in a few words.

    How DO you do it??!!!!
    Beautiful luminous color.
    And congratulations on both competitions, one alone would be a feat, but two at once.
    Well deserved

    This is absolutely beautiful. I love the effect in the background and the feeling of light in the painting.

    Thanks to everybody -- Margery, LIz, Cathyann, Nancy, Deb!! I've just gotten in after a very long day of travel and I'm totally exhausted. Congrats to you Deb -- three pieces in the show!! Unfortunately, I was halfway cross the state by the day of the reception so I missed it.

    Chris behind the morning glories seems to be a slight pattern in the blue wash...how in the world did you do that? It's lovely.
