Sure, there is a sense of whimsy here, and that is not the norm in your work, but it really is a great example of focused intent. I think about the challenge of doing skinny lines in curves and creating actual, recognizable shapes and you mastered that here...<br />Thinking Judy Kirpich style pieced-in curved lines, there is simply total concentration involved and there isn't anyone who can do that better than you. Hope to see more of curves in your new work - your way!<br />BethanyBethany Garnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17381147194656828768noreply@blogger.com
