Then it was easy to paint it upside down, with the lowest rung hooked over the peg rail. The legs of the chair were deliberately splayed out so, especially upside-down, it wouldn't look like a ladder.

Looking straight on at an object like this is a real challenge to draw and stitching it so it has depth is another challenge. I really like your designs. The colors are so clear and vibrant.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12870417446762715744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1239506123724138426.post-21794740606474432882010-04-03T13:38:45.541-07:002010-04-03T13:38:45.541-07:00I'm loving this piece!

I like a good balance of both when working a painted canvas. I look forward to the shawl.Possibilities, Etc.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00301188397987608400noreply@blogger.com
