I've been lurking on your blog for quite awhile now and I just had to come out of anonymous lurkdom to tell you how beautiful I think this painting is! Its absolutely incredible. The colors - the brush strokes - the layering - the whole energy of it. Just beautiful!
Thanks for sharing! I really enjoy your blog and your art.
Thanks very much for your encouraging comments!
I'm so glad you emerged from the shadows of lurkdom ... I just visited your blog ... LOVE the pics of your "Kitty Quatro" !
You know I'm a 'sky nut', and this is a gorgeous one!
