    Not every day is a pink and purple day. Or at least that is how I felt when I painted this. Hope you enjoy and looking forward to communicating with you as always. Stay safe and well! 💜🙏💌

    Hi Cathy. I like the colour combination you have used in this painting. Great effect of the appearance of soft gentle light breaking through the centre in contrast to the surrounding jagged brokenness. A good finished result. Thank you. Colin. 😊👍

    I noticed you're using a smaller brush than normal. Did you set out to do that on purpose? Sometimes I make myself use a tool or a color that I don't normally use to get out of a rut. I love turquoise and orange together. And, as always, I love the music!! Love you!

    Thank you Kasey. I do switch my brushes so I don't get stuck creating the same marks over and over. It's exactly like you said. We get stuck in a rut, so switching things up can help us get out of our heads and into free creativity. Glad you enjoy the music. Love it as well! 💙🧡💚

    This painting is absolutely amazing and just a little different, I think, for you. Love it (and love everything you paint also). I also adore that one little tool you use at the beginning of the painting - it makes 6 little lines.......can you tell me what it is and how to get one? It made me think of instruments. Anyway I am watching all your videos.......thanks so much.
