The image is a work in progress. I started this painting shortly before I received the Paris commission.
It's been great fun to splash out in full colour.
That is quite a list and love your image!
ReplyDeleteHelen, when I started the list it became hard to stop!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your 100.
ReplyDeleteReading your list made my head spin and I am in complete awe. I hope you are proud of yourself because you certainly should be.
Love the colors in this painting Beautiful!
After writing the post I did feel a little exhausted... and I am quite proud of what I've achieved.
DeleteIt's good to make a list like this when you feel impatient or if you feel you haven't done all that you want to.
