I love what you are doing with this Mona. I wish I could see it in person. So much detail in such a tiny space!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your trials and difficulties. It's always good to see the struggles and the solutions of other artists. Also, I find it's much easier to be patient with your art than patient with your computer! :)Barbara A.

I had to wipe off two tries in egg tempera, because the hide glue wasn't staying put either, but so far it's going better with oil, and it's fun trying it on gold leaf and letting bits show through the paint.<br /><br />Tracy, I hope you get to Giverny one day too. It was too early for roses and water lilies in April, but the Spring season is quite spectacular in it's own ways, and I was so grateful that my sister and Mom treated me to a day trip there!Mona Diane Connerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02022399915344870046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1664324880629960678.post-53788176182202187552010-03-16T17:40:14.135-07:002010-03-16T17:40:14.135-07:00Mona,
