Because I listen to Mike Dooley's Notes from the Universe I can't reply -- finger's crossed.<br />But I can say thanks for your encouragement. In my world this is a very small painting. But it is big compared to the 8 x 8s. <br /><br />xoxoxoxoxBarbaraBarbara Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01342757136485853833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855482737695202500.post-78827300962979342362009-09-12T18:28:16.324-07:002009-09-12T18:28:16.324-07:00Hi Liza,

I'm glad you like the Easy button, and that it helped your son. I'm so sorry he has to cope with type 1 diabetes, a major drag. But isn't it good that you could approach it with humour together. <br /><br />I'm glad you got some time to sail, thanks for your wonderful, thoughtful comments.<br /><br />Take care,<br /><br />BarbaraBarbara Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01342757136485853833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855482737695202500.post-45401921499257233982009-09-12T13:57:29.403-07:002009-09-12T13:57:29.403-07:00LOVE it!

Besides that it captures a happy mood and gives a sense of the light and space, as Catherine said, I especially like the broken edges of Flora's trousers, where the red becomes part of the shadow!

It has more "strength" than the 8" x 8", not in just the color...maybe the composition.<br />I admire your ability to have a teaching career and paint. You have organizational skills that I envy and could only hope to aspire to. I like the fact that you organize your studio as well as your classroom, knowing each one is equally important.<br />I got a real chuckle about the "That was Easy" button. When my 21 year old son was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes last March, every time we conquered a new challenge, or achieved something we thought would be difficult, I would push the button, and we would all laugh, even when it (me) got a little annoying!<br />And yes... Yay Martha! I love her. She is so strong and talented and amazing.<br />I have been away on a sailing/racing adventure in Oakville, so I just read through your recent postings. As usual, I find them motivating and uplifting and yes, they make me prone to verbosity! Happy teaching and Happy painting. Your students are very lucky.Catherine Jeffreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05461798205529014264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855482737695202500.post-53547922261888243112009-09-11T16:21:54.819-07:002009-09-11T16:21:54.819-07:00Love it!Love it!Janie Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04931897043854080377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855482737695202500.post-51663093153109082812009-09-11T14:30:41.658-07:002009-09-11T14:30:41.658-07:00Hi Elizabeth,
