Casey Klahn said...: Thanks, Kat! I am trying hard to avoid the word, "vibration." Trying...trying...; June 17, 2011 at 3:26 PM

Dakota's having a sale on pastel boxes! They must have detected a pent-up demand. You don't suppose they saw your post, do you?; June 17, 2011 at 9:16 PM
Casey Klahn said...: Sam breaks the ice. I did see that sale. Anyone use this Dakota Box?; June 17, 2011 at 9:19 PM
Jala Pfaff said...: Love that take-no-prisoners scarlet.; June 17, 2011 at 10:38 PM
Art Matters said...: Powerful abstraction, Casey,the dark plummy purple really makes the brights sing - most enjoyable.; June 18, 2011 at 4:25 AM
Katherine van Schoonhoven said...: The red steals the show, but only because of the grayed colors nearby. Did that red really need a wingman? Heck, I'd ask her out!; June 18, 2011 at 12:46 PM
William Cook said...: I really enjoyed the comment about mark-making. That's what struck me. I like the marks themselves--and the decisive way they're laid down. Those two intense blue marks with the white nearby are making the whole thing vibrate nicely. They're front men, while the browns are having an argument. Quite a color pageant taking place here. I particularly like the characters in the lower left--the regular schmoes without whom none of this would be possible.; June 18, 2011 at 9:12 PM
Katherine van Schoonhoven said...: I like the slideshow from the workshop, too! I'm sure there will be more to come. Congrats.
