You have such a great touch with color and light, edges and composition. I appreciate the way you share everything. Your heart shines through your blog, and your heart is every bit a work of art as your paintings are.<br /><br />Well, my lunch hour is almost over and I've gone on and on, so it will be another time before I can fully catch up on the work you have done.<br /><br />Best to you, until next time...Meredith Adlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15527906823778153381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4203287968430038256.post-74189132281393581342016-01-26T11:07:06.100-07:002016-01-26T11:07:06.100-07:00Oh!

Perseverance wins out and I pat myself on the back and enjoy the feeling of a finished painting. It is lifelong learning isn't it?<br />Thanks for your visit, dear Lisa.

There were quite a few wipe offs until then. I should have realized that before I started. My viewpoint of looking into the flower started it. Side view would have been easier but it did not appeal to me.<br />Looking forward to seeing your next post, Libby.juliefordoliver.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07186754679744000743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4203287968430038256.post-88237112343255623732016-01-25T19:42:58.974-07:002016-01-25T19:42:58.974-07:00Thank you Sharon.
