Wow...another exquisite piece. You are so generous to share your work process with us. It's both an inspiration and an education. I really appreciate it!

[carlavandenberg]

Hi Melissa, it is a pleasure. I like to watch other people painting too, I think we can learn a lot of each other. I believe in sharing, that gives 'grow' (I don't know how to translate my thoughts, hope you understand it.. :-)

I love to watch you work. You always pick the perfect song to go with your videos. Your texture work on the lower half of the painting reminds me of the "Hoodoos" I saw on a road trip I just came back from. They are in Drum Heller, Alberta, Canada. They remind me so much of your paintings.

[carlavandenberg]

I didn't know the word 'Hoodoo', but I did a Google search and found "Hoodoos take millions of years to form and stand 5 to 7 metres tall. Each hoodoo is a sandstone pillar resting on a thick base of shale that is capped by a large stone." So I think that is a great compliment, thank you!

[carlavandenberg]

And yes, I have dunked my brushes in my coffee, doesent do much for the flavour. : )

[Neferkit]

Very beautiful! I love how the three leaves are standing together like sentinels watching over the sea of life.

[carlavandenberg]

Yes I like them to this way, in spite of 'the rule' you never should place them right in the middle (like I did) :-)
