&nb sp;       Thanks for appreciation of my work ..in fact these are "Collages" made from natural waste materials...no any colors or artificial materials used to generate these collages.

                     i too enjoyed ur entire art ...full of nature...fabulous work.....
 

Jaxine, thanks for the comment about my work.  The feeling is mutual!  Love your work.  The colors are just wonderful!

Thanks for your kind comments about my work. I'm very impressed by your gallery images. The detailed pattern in the cloth of the Granny Smith still life works beautifully with the excellently rendered forms of the apples. It's really lovely.

 Your mention under "Books" about getting your eyes fixed concerns me. I'm someone who deals with vision problems on a daily basis and hope that isn't a shared issue.

Hope you have a healthy, happy new year.

Thank you for your comment about my parrots Jaxine.

Love your colors...nothing shy about you.. lol... and the variety in your work

Teaching is a marvelous thing. To stimulate in others is so rewarding.

Yes I too paint everyday and I am certainly not a happy camper when I'm not creating.

jaxine, thanks for visiting my page and for the kind words.  It looks like you changed your page to a black background; looks good.  I like the apples, good job.

Regards,

Steve B.

Thanks for your info Jaxine, I'll be sending my donation today! :)  I am trying to put together an art walk at the Westin, would you or any of your friends be intersted in obtainin a space? Not sure of the price yet, but I do know it wouldn't be much, this is all kind of last minute, and may not come to fruition but.....  :)  Warmest, Lori

Hi Jaxine, thanks for visiting, and your comments.  Your art is wonderful as well! Love your apples!  I'm partial to still life's.  We actually just moved back from San Diego, and I haven't had time yet to join the many Art Groups and Leagues here again, but slowly but surely, is there a particular one you would say is a benefit for you? I'd be interested in hearing. I was about to register with the Arizona Arts League.  I teach watercolor classes at the Phoenician and Westin's here, but being a Stay at home Mom, I don't have much time for some of the responsibilities that go along with membership.    Maybe one day we'll meet.  :) Glad to know you! Am off to peruse some more of your works.
