Half the time I forget where I am, let alone which rule should apply when I'm painting. You do not have that problem. Each piece is just right.<BR/><BR/>xoxoxo BarbaraBarbara Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01342757136485853833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855482737695202500.post-63702442362232610762009-03-06T04:24:00.000-08:002009-03-06T04:24:00.000-08:00Hi Barbara,First I thought this story had just hap...Hi Barbara,<BR/>First I thought this story had just happened and was really shocked, until I realized that this was in the past and that Christopher is fine now! Glad he is! I hadn't taken in the "8th grade boy". Well, you write a good suspence story, that's for sure.<BR/>Coincidentally I tried to do the "one stroke" method this morning - hadn't seen your's - and found it very difficult! It didn't stay at one stroke with me. I admire Carol Marine's work immensly - its so pure!<BR/>Like your primulas, too.Liza Hirsthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18024630462493582644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855482737695202500.post-28153913795173684072009-03-04T21:07:00.000-08:002009-03-04T21:07:00.000-08:00Hi Edgar,Thanks, but I love watching the giantsnai...Hi Edgar,<BR/><BR/>Thanks, but I love watching the giant<BR/>snails.

Everyone who has raised kids does. Christopher hasn't lived at home for four years since he graduated from university -- but he's staying with us now for a few months and I guess the combo of that fact and the primulas brought the whole story back into my mind.

I don't buy aerosol cans. <BR/><BR/>I'm glad you like the primulas. I find the one stroke method very hard. I guess I'm a smooshy flow painter. But I like the result so I'll try it again.<BR/><BR/>You are sweet.<BR/><BR/>xoxoxoBarbaraBarbara Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01342757136485853833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855482737695202500.post-25353597886674009942009-03-04T14:05:00.000-08:002009-03-04T14:05:00.000-08:00Hi Laura,By a state of grace -- I just mean we are...Hi Laura,<BR/><BR/>By a state of grace -- I just mean we are lucky -- thanks for your comment.

I'm so glad it had a good resolution.<BR/><BR/>I assume Pledge is banned from your home now.....!<BR/><BR/>The primulas are simply exquisite. Your composition is spot on, couldn't get any better and you make the "one stroke method" look easy. ha. The dark contrasts/shadows are masterfully placed too.<BR/><BR/>Keep the primulas.
