I would also suggest considering “does the design in this work break the rules, and if so, is it successful in your opinion?”Leslie Avon Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09235003342775117469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1561642481755412634.post-38471401560968752832009-03-04T09:04:00.000-03:302009-03-04T09:04:00.000-03:30Miki,I'm glad you saw the usefulness of this proce...Miki,<BR/>I'm glad you saw the usefulness of this process for your own art practice. I keep a copy of the stages in the studio for my own observations. I even set the painting up and do the description part before moving on. I have a chair, good light and a note book I keep jot notes about future actions on the work. The process helps to take me out of my own head. <BR/><BR/>Kesha,<BR/>My pleasure to pass along something I find very useful. Imagine you getting to live in France! I have to prowl through your blog a little more to hopefully find out how that came about. I spent three weeks in France on a painting holiday and loved it. I felt a connection to your artist information. I find it marvelous how artists are attracted to the same themes and then their work can be so different.Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12726740154167156916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1561642481755412634.post-13607369988454106502009-03-03T14:19:00.000-03:302009-03-03T14:19:00.000-03:30Ditto everything Miki Willa said.
