Tm20, thankyou for sharing, and I'm glad that they are relaxing, must admit its quite relaxing to paint them, and yeah Pandora colours, seem to be my favorite to work with, exactly because I they are so soothing!

Thank you Pa'li M, I think that's what i hoped and feel as well that the energy that I'm working with does come through the paintings! Albeit I have to admit for this one, that the photo did it more justice than the real painting might be! (the photo seemed to have brought out more of the colors)

I actually would prefer to do this, using a paintbrush isn't as accurate and you wouldn't get the same "I did this" feeling when you finish, it's like you've left a part of yourself on the canvass.

Definitely, and because you're using your hands, it just seems to be provide a whole differnent experience because of the sensory feel to it. I encourage you to try it, you'll find that its just amazing and so freeing.

Thank you Tsyal Makto, thank you, you have it exactly right!

Thank you Elyannia, and well because of your (and everyone) encouragement, I have rented a craft table coming up in a week or so to see what happens. (crosses fingers) Unfortantely I'm not so savy as to try selling on the internet yet, but we will see how it goes!

HNM thank you very much, I'm getting a little more 'skilled' persey and trying various techniques, and making new discoverys along the way!
