Just goes to show you.

 I thought I would show you some paintings that

look good. The way the big painting is going you would

think I am a amateur. Which I am in some ways.

 Working on the big painting has made me realize that I

need to take time and really learn trees and values.

On my bucket list for this fall and winter is to

draw in pencil trees so I will finally learn how

to shade the leaves. I need to make them look more natural.

Practice makes perfect and my friend Doris says.

I am just trying to do too much too fast.

Life just hurls past at an astonishing speed.

The fiber piece Central Park I have in a show now

just did not hang right.

I was reading my Fiber Arts Now magazine

(note to Nancy this is a great magazine to subscribe to)

and the article on Merill Comeau shows her

complex layered pieces that I love and they have

the uneven pieces like Central Park.

Acting on impulse as usual I called her to ask how

show hangs her pieces and keeps them upright.

I got some good advice.

Thanks much Merill.

I love how the artist in this world are nice enough

to share and help others make better art.
