    Hello Nel,

    I followed your link from Robin Weiss' blog. I like your work. Especially the figure drawings of January, on your other blog. Really excellent.

  2. I was idly going through this artist's blog, since I had never done so before nor had I even bought from her, when I ran across this painting. I bought it immediately! What I love about it are its colors and its lack of specificity. One can see the plants as trees in a forest or in a garden or as coral or weeds growing on the ocean's floor. I am probably unusual because I normally prefer the extremes of either highly detailed and realistic paintings or paintings that are vague and that have a spiritual or mystical appearance and "feel". I also occasionally like a painting that visually makes what I feel is an important point. No middle ground for me in the paintings that I especially love and in this painting the artist has given me a gorgeous scene that I can interpret in so many enjoyable and even wonderful ways! Thank you!
