I feel like I'm hitting some kind of new stride here and hanging on for the ride. <br /><br />I absolutely do think that moving through the land of painting more simply is a necessary part of the journey to here...and now I'm starting to feel like I'm coming out on the other side.liz wiltzenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11968282661175393214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4992188361901924074.post-60522154086470089422013-01-05T16:10:26.413-07:002013-01-05T16:10:26.413-07:00I love all your paintings, and have never felt the...I love all your paintings, and have never felt they were tight. But I so understand what you're saying about looking within to paint more simply. That is one of my ongoing goals, to paint more, by painting less. To paint more luminously, by painting less. I will look forward to hearing what you say about your paintings.

I'll be watching your progress to see what painting 'like you' will turn out to be. When I first saw this painting, without reading your words, I thought: "Wow - this is not like Liz!". So, I find your goal to be "less looking out and more looking in" instructive and liberating and will watch your progress with more attention!<br /><br />Janna Kumihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06393220863067212167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4992188361901924074.post-50168075778697562322013-01-05T13:04:54.317-07:002013-01-05T13:04:54.317-07:00You guys are AWESOME!
