The skilled artist is the one who is always responding to and compensating for the changing winds of the creative process. Nothing is ever the same. Conditions are infinitely variable. Each engagement presents a new challenge, and that is the defining quality of the creative process … Creativity is a force moving through us, and only through practice do we learn how to cooperate with it.
Yup.

Love this, Dotty. The painting and the words!
Hi Laurie, great to hear from you. Thanks for your comments. I took such pleasure in painting this one. It's a card for a friend—I'm savoring it until I put it in the mail!
So luscious! What a divine gift to give :)
Thanks, Sheila. I was so excited about the way this came together. I had ideas going in, but of course bumped into surprises—the ideas and the surprises mingled to make a delightful painting experience.
