No matter where I seem to browse on the net lately, there is always reference to this book.
Everywhere! It seems to pop up in the strangest of places. Pictures, comments, chapter reflections. So I started thinking that perhaps the universe was telling me something... "Hop off the net and do some art!!!" No - actually - it was more like "Buy me!" and so I did!

ReplyDeleteI'm so glad because it brought me to see your beautiful art!

ReplyDeleteI am reading this book now. Can't wait to hear what you think of it.
ReplyDeleteYay for you Donna!
ReplyDeleteA friend of mine calls it sitting down and 'making a mark' - once you start, all sorts of interesting things appear on the page.
