What a great sketchbooking idea- especially since you can add color right away w/o having to lug around paper & various colored pencils etc. I'm loving the bottom left one- with the darker shadows peeking through the yellow rays- that's a lot of depth for a phone-sketch.Megan Woodard Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12935469320004109752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31271760.post-19325331978394165412012-02-23T09:24:43.562-05:002012-02-23T09:24:43.562-05:00Betsy, Thank you!

As for that luxurious feeling of being in the sweet spot, i've heard a saying something like, 'artists are the luckiest people because they get to fall in love again and again and again.' i have often likened starting a new piece to 'falling in love.' wishing you more of those moments!betsy best-spadarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14242899745399066824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31271760.post-74757992540618004292012-02-15T17:59:09.852-05:002012-02-15T17:59:09.852-05:00oh my god...that pyrography is insane! thanks for ...oh my god...that pyrography is insane! thanks for sharing!Megan Woodard Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12935469320004109752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31271760.post-5433690966028004022012-02-15T15:40:25.660-05:002012-02-15T15:40:25.660-05:00Hey Heather!

I don't think it needs more detail- more circles or marks, perse- but I wonder if some deeper color would bring it along. I think the thing I respond to in your encaustics is how there is often rich color beneath the surface, that is then layered over with some more muted color- leaving the deeper color to sort of glow through that top layer. I think that's what is missing for me in this piece.Megan Woodard Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12935469320004109752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31271760.post-62027081063304984252012-02-12T10:55:25.512-05:002012-02-12T10:55:25.512-05:00I am absolutely in!
