I know I painted them from life, and what I liked was the distortions from being way too close to the bouquet. But also I am amazed that I drew those, with a baby crawling around the floor at my feet. Maybe that's why that baby grew up to be an artist too -- a photographer/cinematographer -- and a good one.<br /><br />XOXOXOXOXO BarbaraBarbara Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01342757136485853833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855482737695202500.post-59959436089407364152014-09-13T12:30:20.829-07:002014-09-13T12:30:20.829-07:00It's a beautiful work and although it's so...It's a beautiful work and although it's so different from what you do now, I can clearly see your same calligraphic line strokes that you use now! And the flow with which you paint your flowers. Isn't that interesting? And Marcia's sculpture is wonderful.

I still remember Steven delivering this little masterpiece in person. <br />Thank you so much for mentioning me on your fabulous blog. one small detail though, the head of David is in ciment fondu not bronze. but if it looks like bronze - that’s ok.<br />Love to all of you!<br />xo, Marciacohen labellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00713812144707226168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855482737695202500.post-17312248311334558882014-09-08T19:25:43.359-07:002014-09-08T19:25:43.359-07:00it's fun to 'bump into' old work hangi...it's fun to 'bump into' old work hanging in someone's home, though it can be hard to believe that we did art that way once. It's why I think that art 'lives' because it grows and changes and evolves with the artist. It is a wonderful botanical piece Barbara and so is your friends sculpture of her husband, David.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04987603799232901184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855482737695202500.post-32736923586481890392014-09-08T18:46:37.006-07:002014-09-08T18:46:37.006-07:00I love your old work, new work and your friend'...I love your old work, new work and your friend's work!
