Other times, I struggle and I'm not sure if it is because I'm forcing myself to do something that doesn't come naturally or if it's just a necessary part of my development process.Zsuzsa Karoly-Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14427330015740268592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4110633174455319889.post-72889094174588594122016-08-19T21:16:10.880-06:002016-08-19T21:16:10.880-06:00High praise from such a masterful artist and words...High praise from such a masterful artist and wordsmith, Deann - thanks!Win Dinn, Artisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03175735509853498545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4110633174455319889.post-18634476838874593942016-08-19T16:18:25.855-06:002016-08-19T16:18:25.855-06:00A lovely collection of creativity I especially lik...A lovely collection of creativity I especially like the city skyline scene I found it very restful...great title too.Deannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02377433095033570209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4110633174455319889.post-61171492049679317762016-08-19T15:31:34.830-06:002016-08-19T15:31:34.830-06:00Thanks, Sue.

These a...Looks like you have been having fun, Win. These are all wonderful, I may have to get some GAC 400, seeing what you have done is gibing me some ideas for embellishments! And while I am very drawn to the fabulous patterns, there is something about Sleeping Tight that resonates with me. I love to experiment as well, and am always trying new things. So there is a part of me that is a process lover. But, I have to admit, often when I am painting, I will work right through until I finish, because I need to see the finished result. I tend to work better under the gun and paint like crazy at the last minute before a show. Oddly enough, it's often the last one that I have finished, that is barely dry, that is the first to go! So I guess I'm a little bit of both.Kin Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06097926900757398346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4110633174455319889.post-33567615053070055692016-08-18T17:14:34.105-06:002016-08-18T17:14:34.105-06:00You know I'm result oriented, something I can&...You know I'm result oriented, something I can't seem to (maybe don't want to) shake which makes watching your experimentation such a treat. Nice to see what you've been doing with that GAC stuff. I love your dryer sheet vase - I'm sure the next one will be built around a Gleaner's vase! That is unless you've already "moved on" to a different experiment!

I liked it when I was teaching as I could test an idea out and then give it to a class full of teenagers to make the end product, it was great watching what they came up with and I have to say I do miss that.
