Lovely words from Sandburg. When I saw the thumbnail on my blogroll thingy I thought that middle section looked like a box of watercolors. :) Glad you are working too. I read a book about painitng on canvas in which the author said she often paints on a larger canvas than she imagines the picture will be, then she often changes the size of the painting to smaller or larger as needed. Of course then she has to restretch it once finally completed. But I always liked that idea of having a flexible size as one works.sukipoethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09351851210507048174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1779511481868469607.post-45449356969869754402009-02-12T04:59:00.000-08:002009-02-12T04:59:00.000-08:00Love this painting Mary Ann!Love this painting Mary Ann!Jacie Wiggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16630533748221698968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1779511481868469607.post-68671996981829587992009-02-12T02:42:00.000-08:002009-02-12T02:42:00.000-08:00Hi Mary Ann, I actually have a new friend called A...Hi Mary Ann, I actually have a new friend called Abraham Lincoln and he is the cousin of Abraham Lincoln.
