It really breathes. The copies of Wyeth and Homer are very nice too, such a great exercise to copy the works we admire.Mineke Reindershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05706124823776632301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33679874.post-17926010785619837742009-07-04T18:16:54.389-04:002009-07-04T18:16:54.389-04:00Laura,

Fabulous! <br /><br />I, too, admire that you experiment the way you do. With wonderful results.

I love what you did with the brushes and paper bothering you. Can you imagine walking through an art gallery and getting the real story? "This work drove me crazy," the artist said. <br /><br />All we see in your case is the happy end result.<br /><br />Take care,<br /><br />BarbaraBarbara Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01342757136485853833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33679874.post-70293021287553510202009-07-03T20:14:09.321-04:002009-07-03T20:14:09.321-04:00I love all of these, Laura!
