  7. Don't you love the aspect of doing art where "just playing" results in something wonderful! These are great examples of that! Too bad we don't live closer, it would be fun to have a "play date".

  22. Jo, I really like these. The evoke a feeling that's somewhat haunting of the serenity one longs for. The color in the second one is serene. I think I'm going to have to get my stamps out and play more.
