I kept thinking about how i would paint my soul while I was working on her so maybe there is a part of my soul in there too :) thanks to you!Holly Friesenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03110924172596530370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3852892649643542646.post-43394851820416001512009-01-31T16:17:00.000-08:002009-01-31T16:17:00.000-08:00thanksI agree.... well put.

Thank-you for showing your soul so openly, I think I will try a similar piece although I can feel the resistance rising already.<BR/>I know that I for one, definitely think too much but find that when I am painting I become more sensate and feeling oriented.
