Thanks for that information! 😉

Sandra, you are making me want to break my piggy-bank open! Am loving my Turner paper, and this new ‘Collection’ sounds like it may be similar – yes? Wonderful review and your paintings – WOW!!

Thank you, Lori! And I just realized another thing we have in common – I was born in Illinois (although my family moved from there when I was 5, it is still my ‘state of origin’). Cannot wait to see where your art takes you – I’ll be following along as a fan, for certain😊

Lori, I adore your work – especially the ink was characters. I too am rediscovering and finally gave in to Instagram because of World Watercolor month and Charlie – funny how we have all gravitated to the same source of inspiration and encouragement!

Fresh picked blackberries on ice cream, while watching Disney on Sunday nights…my kind of nostalgia! Your tart looks good enough to eat (now I have to resist the urge to have dessert tonight…ugh!😞

Charlie, this is simply wonderful!😍❤❣👻

Thank you very much, Gary!

Thank you, Bonnie❣❣

Thanks, Charlie! I fought hard not to keep making changes – lesson learned!!🤗😍

Thank you, Zertab🤗

Appreciate the vote of confidence, Mary!😊

Thank you, Lisa! 😊😊

Thank you so much, Sandra!

Thank you, Karen! I wish you could see how this paint changes – it actually goes from a copper color to the very metallic green. I mixed it down a bit to get the darker look. I’m glad I took everyone’s advise and waited a bit before finishing (I still had the urge to keep doing adjustments, but I fought them off!)

Thanks, Karen. I appreciate all the feedback! (he’s done now – will post shortly)
😊

As am I…too often I just try to keep adding more, and of course, the result is never what I want. Am hoping tomorrow I will be able to look at this with fresh eyes and finish it, without ruining what I already have. Thanks, Charlie! I knew checking in with the community here would help me move forward.😊

Thanks, Sandra. It’s so hard not to try and ‘make it better’ – HA! I will try to exercise some patience before I head back in to finish this one.

Thank you so much! (I will post it, no matter the outcome. Just keeping my fingers crossed🤞)
