I paint, collage, stitch and don't really have a "direction". Not sure if that's ok - I just keep at it. I pray for guidance there - but I am still not sure. Love your landscapes - and the tangle landscape is great. So wonderful to have a vision in your head and see it flow onto canvas.bellefrogworkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10668462382521292679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1909430738610418424.post-35051528069932811662012-08-12T03:26:37.252-04:002012-08-12T03:26:37.252-04:00It is lovely to have found your style and be so ha...It is lovely to have found your style and be so happy with it.

Just a signpost to help me know I'm going in the right direction.<br /><br />I truly know how you're feeling, it seems we've both been going through growing pains at the same time. I'm so happy you've found your way to art nirvana. You're so talented, you deserve all the happiness one can wring out of this.<br /><br />Hope you keep in touch,<br />Much love,<br />Jenn<br />PS. and I like your tangle thanks for entering, I so appreciate the support.
