  4. Oh my goodness! I am so inspired by that! I would like you to teach me how to do that. To paint, to sketch, to draw. You are a marvel, Miss Lori. I would totally frame that in my studio. When will you be releasing your sketchbook prints to the world?
    Enjoy the day.

  5. I do hope you are feeling better, the bug that is going around seems to hang on...I'm still having coughing fits at times.

    Your photos are so sharp, like I can touch your art...I love how I can feel the motion in the bird, just beautiful! xo

I have done my first 'wash' background for my current project... and as I watch what you are creating, I think I'm getting ready for the next tentative artwork...something actually detailed... Thanks so much for inspiring me! :)
