These quick pieces feel so 'free' and quirky, very childlike, wh/ is a quality most of us lose, sadly. I also appreciate your quick-witted writing. I am your newest fan!Sharon Hodgeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12414358685122664626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855482737695202500.post-19680824003148399312009-07-15T19:22:35.771-07:002009-07-15T19:22:35.771-07:00Wow!

They remind me of the "meditative" charcoal drawings I did some years ago.

That baseball boy would be cool blown up, but right now he's about two inches high, not quite wall material, and in 10 minutes he'll be in the recycle bin, and no more than a memory.<br /><br />Your support makes me so happy.<br /><br />xoxoxoxBarbaraBarbara Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01342757136485853833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855482737695202500.post-27497642949194640002009-07-14T14:10:06.347-07:002009-07-14T14:10:06.347-07:00Hi Laura,

I go through large sheets of bond paper trying out and mixing colours for every painting.<br />So...I sometimes make little people out of them before they go in the recycle bin.<br /><br />Take care,<br /><br />BarbaraBarbara Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01342757136485853833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855482737695202500.post-13510599833657032712009-07-14T08:41:39.683-07:002009-07-14T08:41:39.683-07:00Another great post!
