Your techniques/style are magnificent. I don't usually paint in oils but occasionally I am so in the mood to do so. I'd love to hear more about your "fracturing." I think I know what you are talking about looking at your work, but I'd sure love to know how you do it! Every one of your paintings I just looked at is stunning.Autumn Leaveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04010044052621228719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4203287968430038256.post-26963790900845452782012-08-11T22:14:50.809-06:002012-08-11T22:14:50.809-06:00Thanks LS but let me mention what a fabulous pocha...Thanks LS but let me mention what a fabulous pochade box you put together so cheaply on your perPetuity blog.
