Thank you, Ginette. I appreciate comments on early works... I makes me less embarrassed that I uploaded them.. I love your work... think I'll go over and refresh myself on your work in your galleries.
Maria Hunt
Thank you, Bill.. Now I have to go read it again... I am just remembering the HEAT of the day and the silliness of doing watercolor in a dry environment.. Thanks, again. I am in love with your impressionistic painting style.
