He says that since Monet didn't expect himself just lay down a perfectly mixed color without adjusting, then neither should we have to expect that of ourselves. I found it very liberating to read that! (p. 140 of his book). I've read your whole blog, loved it, hope you are still painting, look forward to seeing and reading more of what you do...Meredith Adlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15527906823778153381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5895120824495181150.post-52780140472852572022012-04-28T15:13:32.956-07:002012-04-28T15:13:32.956-07:00Wow, you redesigned your blog, I like it!!
