Thanks for watching Angela!

[spiritsartattack]

so beautiful and dimensional. what was the inspiration for that....i would love to hear about it....

[carlavandenberg]

Nothing specific.. I love round forms (and to use a square canvas :)

I just start, with a palette knife and all kind of texture ''things' (like heavy gel medium and stuff like that), and then it happen.. :)

[artsycalgal]

Love it, Carla! Any chance of a video showing technique? Fabulous textures...you can get lost in it!

[carlavandenberg]

Thanks! No, sorry, no time for techniques at the moment :-\

I've to make 'production' because of coming expo's (very soon!)

[artsycalgal]

Perhaps in the future...good luck at the expo!

[carlavandenberg]

Certainly again in the future :)
