How many paintings are there ?
Hi Sherpa! I really worked hard at this one, the nest; the eggs - the blending (the blending- agh) and then I had to green up the leaves - all in all it was a fun painting and I did learn better blending. There is no way this was a 1 hoot- I put it at 2.-2.5
Thank you so much. You’ve really expanded my creative horizon. I’ve learned how many things I can repurpose for certain things. For instance, I kept my daughters’ rubber bands from when they wore braces and how serendipitous it was since I had none to use to bind my Qtips. No waste here. Again, you all are terrific, loving, silly in a perfect way, and most importantly, the love John and you have for each other is a breath of fresh air. I live it when artists do not self deprecate. It builds my confidence and brings me joy. Once I figure out how to post on your FB group I’ll put up some of my versions of your creations. I’m still having a little trouble with the sizing of traceables but trial and error with my printer has been sufficient. I’ve yet to participate in a live show but I will aspire to it. Thanks again.
