I think some days that I've completely forgotten how to paint. <BR/><BR/>Yes, I, too, admire those who can make larger scenes hang together. We'll just keep at it, right?!Melindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16793226305585541931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5418000363253871722.post-1269138258554678212008-11-30T16:06:00.000-08:002008-11-30T16:06:00.000-08:00Wonderful job...

Glad you saw it through because it turned out very nicely. <BR/>I enjoy the little ones because there isn't so much space to fill, but I am in awe of those who can make use the space to create large scenes like this!!<BR/>Be well!Marian Fortunatihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11107085447074524162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5418000363253871722.post-90489490864705565102008-11-18T19:03:00.000-08:002008-11-18T19:03:00.000-08:00Hi Melinda,You've been tagged.

Absolutely the ground and shrubs of the area.<BR/><BR/>You've caught the essence of the place -- in a teeny tiny space.

And there's something about that lone cloud...overseeing everything...<BR/><BR/>When Susan and I were out painting the other day, we also were puzzling at how crazy difficult a 5" x 7" could be, just as bad as an 11" x 14"! I'm glad this one didn't get the best of you. :)Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02657187768183498744noreply@blogger.com
