An item of interest: this one is on Townsend paper, which has a hand-applied sanded surface on Rives BFK. I didn't want to travel far from my prairie theme, but did try different surfaces this season.

I am continuing my review of some of this year's artworks.

Make sure to visit Making a Mark, which I'm sure most of you do regularly.  Katherine Tyrrell has reached her 5th year blogiversary!  She shares 12 secrets to blog longevity, and it is worth your read.

You are a talent. Just like that. No emotions here, pure fact.)) My two deep inside wings are ready to fly into this painting, it is usual sign when art is right.

Hey, Irina. Thanks for looking (flying into) this picture.

Merry Christmas, Brian and Katherine. It is so interesting to get communications from New York City and London in this little box.

Then again, I hail from the pony express days, myself.

Beautiful small gem Casey. Love the way you controlled your palette to make a tangible warmth. Merry Christmas!

Thank you, Loriann. Do you know of the artist Russell Chatham? He painted in California, and now in Montana (if I am up to date).
