Do you mean the pastel of the forest in Holland (the big header on top of the page), or do you mean this one that is in the style of Vincent van Gogh?

I did not like getting graded for art. It never made sense.

The stipling technique of Seurat, although engrossing, is a bit too structured to allow absolute freedom in the technical ways an artist can express his idea through images.dragonwithinhttp://www.ordermedsonline.ca/prozac.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8558967787442908203.post-27632058138792620622010-02-19T00:13:59.945-08:002010-02-19T00:13:59.945-08:00Hello Leia, I was just thinking that I needed to p...Hello Leia, I was just thinking that I needed to post something again:) It makes me happy that you like to look at my art!

I also appreciated the comment you made about becoming timid and toning down your colors. I would love to see what comes out when you don't let the mind interfere. Your work is already beautiful, so just think!...Betsy Granthttp://betsygrantmusic.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8558967787442908203.post-31491183233476215732010-02-10T11:34:05.381-08:002010-02-10T11:34:05.381-08:00Neetzy,
