Yes, still pretty rainy here, a small moment of blue sky happened this morning so we went up to the waterfalls outside Largs - lovely! Apparently next week is more of the same - ah well.... Oh, and about the new paintings, they don't use different materials but I painted them differently! Might try layering some oil glazes on top soon though....Hope you're both well!<BR/>xlittlerobothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03407627947044525468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810156851531185584.post-68258310340236201712008-06-29T09:49:00.000+01:002008-06-29T09:49:00.000+01:00Thanks for introducing such a delightful collectio...Thanks for introducing such a delightful collection of artists.

I see a little bit of each of them in what you you do, the skill, the thought, the line, the subject, the place.<BR/><BR/>I dearly love that you and Ms. Usova made an original art trade, and such a fair one. Her observation about you visiting the same place at different times of day, rings both true and dear.Shelley Noblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10968333057020378002noreply@blogger.com
