Well it's great when it's not ...Hi Laurel,<br /><br />Well it's great when it's not your night, but harder when you're exhausted and have to drag yourself into the kitchen and think of something to make. Tonight we're lucky because we're going out for dinner so it's nobody's night.<br /><br />I am really close to finishing. Have to tomorrow, because it goes to the charity tomorrow.<br /><br />XOXOXOXOBarbaraBarbara Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01342757136485853833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855482737695202500.post-49786299381622114632010-02-03T07:50:08.413-08:002010-02-03T07:50:08.413-08:00Hi Liza,

Not because it's commercial (although I know it is) but because it includes everything I like -- red, hearts, flowers and love. I have to skip the chocolate because I ate 5,000 pounds of it at Christmas and I'm still sorry about that. <br /><br />Plus for the past two years Steven and I have given one another flowers for Valentine's Day every weekend. And that I love!<br /><br />xoxoxoxoxoxBarbaraBarbara Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01342757136485853833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855482737695202500.post-2044390125489415762010-02-03T05:05:52.060-08:002010-02-03T05:05:52.060-08:00Sounds like a lovely rhythm you and Steven have go...Sounds like a lovely rhythm you and Steven have going.

When I first said I'd do a painting ...Hi Gwen,<br /><br />When I first said I'd do a painting for this show I was at a complete loss about what to do. Then I remembered my beautiful model and a smaller painting on the same subject, and thought why don't I just develop it this way. I am such a big believer in reading that I try and work books, or letters or reading material into as many portraits as possible. Thanks as ever for your super kind support. You know I love your work.<br /><br />xoxoxoxoxBarbaraBarbara Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01342757136485853833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855482737695202500.post-35417871031787151542010-02-02T19:34:06.536-08:002010-02-02T19:34:06.536-08:00Hi Linda,

I'm really delighted that this painting looks happy.<br /><br />Take care,<br /><br />BarbaraBarbara Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01342757136485853833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855482737695202500.post-88416344214898436502010-02-02T08:09:36.070-08:002010-02-02T08:09:36.070-08:00What a great post! Laughed at your being like the ...What a great post! Laughed at your being like the cat and knowing when dinner is ready by the sound. You are such a good writer.<br /><br />Which brings me around to "balance". It seems your quest for balance is a goal in every part of your life and I so admire that. Not an easy thing to do!<br /><br />This painting reflects that balance perfectly. I love the way you have masterfully balanced so much color and interest but yet never take the focus off of the girl and the book. Love the clever way you managed to tell the entire story on the 2 pages of the book. Wonderful!Gwen Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16393643552813213700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855482737695202500.post-46738043660061163972010-02-02T07:45:33.743-08:002010-02-02T07:45:33.743-08:00Just discovered your blog.
