I think the thing I've enjoyed most about this challenge is becoming better acquainted with you and your work. You're truly an inspiration. Your paintings are beautiful, and your kindness and willingness to share has been appreciated more than you can know. I feel like you're a true friend that I've never had the pleasure to meet. I'll be visiting your blog often. Many thanks and warmest regards.Sue Harrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09331476269238169228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4203287968430038256.post-34275538669384306192013-09-30T17:43:27.202-06:002013-09-30T17:43:27.202-06:00Beautiful Julie!

It will be fun to see how you take this down the road. The first part of the painting I noticed was the little green vase in front. It shines.<br />And now I am also going to paint "larger" as I missed doing that.

Bravo. Daily painting is acceptable, but finished? I would pass. Second looks are a necessity with me. And publishing "in progress" really does point out the tweaks that are needed.

At one point I stopped commenting but I kept up with your paintings on a daily basis. I ran out of innovative ways to tell how beautiful your works is. This last watercolor is delightful!

In fact, I found your paintings to be some of the very best I saw in the challenge and will continue to follow you. I am so glad it is over, too, as I finally had to quit a few days ahead as other matters required too much attention. I don't think I will ever do it again....I prefer longer time to work on paintings and larger works, but it was fun and I sure learned a lot. Keep up your good work and so glad we "met".
