Hopefully they enjoyed it.<br /><br />This piece made me pretty happy in the end. Funny how some things work and some don't. There's no telling sometimes I guess. I have a piece going right now that is giving me about twenty kinds of pain. Truly. I hope to come out of it alive!<br /><br />Thank you as always for your visit. I hope you are doing well.<br />LibbyLibby Fifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13532162740012986996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2899715599676824140.post-57873791756951863502015-10-09T15:44:48.002-07:002015-10-09T15:44:48.002-07:00The class liked your new piece Libby and three of ...The class liked your new piece Libby and three of them thought it was perfect for Texas. Sunshine and skull shapes. That's the beauty about abstraction isn't it? The viewer can find their own interpretation.<br />I love the color harmony and great design also.juliefordoliver.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07186754679744000743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2899715599676824140.post-65104823903863107692015-10-08T15:02:34.678-07:002015-10-08T15:02:34.678-07:00Thanks Carol!

Using the colored papers during the layout helped with the values I think and keeping an open mind, which is hard to do of course, helped also.<br /><br />I started a new one today and it is not coming together easily. Each one is different I guess and will be difficult at times. So, just keep plugging along:)<br /><br />Hope you are well. Thank you as always for your observations and input. It helps a lot!<br /> <br />Libby Libby Fifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13532162740012986996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2899715599676824140.post-79658648479954592842015-10-08T10:34:40.826-07:002015-10-08T10:34:40.826-07:00One of my favorites, Libby.

Also, a perfect combination of line vs. solid shape. I think you were successful in relaying your ideas although they varied from your original goal. That's creativity for you, my friend!Carol Flatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13280091225563623507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2899715599676824140.post-34480676477502302192015-10-08T09:50:24.185-07:002015-10-08T09:50:24.185-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Libby Fifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13532162740012986996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2899715599676824140.post-86198579818023366042015-10-08T09:44:49.104-07:002015-10-08T09:44:49.104-07:00Thanks Debbie!

It took awhile though to get it to where I thought, "Yes, this is what I want." Do you ever have that happen? You know something isn't done and you are just waiting for that mental go ahead to know that you are finished.<br /><br />Sorry about the dead link to Anne's site. I fixed it and here it is in case you are interested. Anne Truitt. She has written several books that I think compile her observations while in her studio. I am interested to see what she wrote about so I ordered one of the books from Amazon. Her comments about color and shape on her bio really resonated with me.<br /><br />And I too loved the thoughts about sitting in silence. Silence can be very nerve wracking I find and so sitting in a room with others sort of waiting for something to happen would be a challenge. It's a marvel to me that there is a whole religion centered around this practice. My experience in synagogue and in church is that generally, people are busy chatting or whispering or down right talking! So, silence would be unusual.<br /><br />LibbyLibby Fifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13532162740012986996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2899715599676824140.post-5285657606226571092015-10-08T09:12:37.331-07:002015-10-08T09:12:37.331-07:00Libby-amazing friend.

The white background represents water to me so in some fashion your plan for water was present. Hope you are having a super day. Checked out the links too. Anne's site- unable to access but the other two worked. Stan's work is very inspiring. Loved reading Heather' s thoughts on silence. Thanks for a great post.Deborah Nolanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08967701246036667757noreply@blogger.com
