Although, sometimes the little pieces feel huge!<BR/><BR/>Beautiful painting.

I guess "dripping" works?Brenda Boylanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14448927740951224325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839646558738602935.post-16382371909905832352009-02-10T19:20:00.000-08:002009-02-10T19:20:00.000-08:00You are sooooo right Brenda.Pastels are so intense...You are sooooo right Brenda.<BR/>Pastels are so intensely emotional-no separation.<BR/>I love this painting...you REALLY understand water.

In addition to the incredible colors, I love the direct contact you don't get when you have a brush in hand. I really don't understand why they are not always fully accepted in the art world at large as legitimate fine art.<BR/>Lovely painting, by the way.Miki Willahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01903615512823465964noreply@blogger.com
