I appreciate your thoughts on art and life that I read at your blog.<BR/><BR/>Dave: I think “True Confessions” must be in the general domain. So I am willing to share the title!<BR/><BR/>Marina: thank you. I have enjoyed seeing your work, and your trip to Spain posted on your blog.<BR/><BR/>Derrick: Nice to have a visit from you. No baseballs here!<BR/><BR/>Jeane: I regret that I was unable to attend your opening. I’ll be in your neck of the woods next week. I hope some of your work is still in the gallery then!<BR/><BR/>Jo H: While I have been away, I saw BBC TV and the devastating fires in your country. I have held you all in positive thought for the devastation to end.<BR/><BR/>Babs: Yes, I think there is an Asian feel, but I do try to make it my own version. I like the minimal esthetic. <BR/><BR/>Robyn: A visceral response is, I think, speaking intuition to intuition. Yes?<BR/><BR/>B & W: I see the tag, and will respond. I think that particular photo is of Kurt opening his new camera. <BR/><BR/>Mary Ann: I’ll try and remember to post the size of the collage pieces. These for the International Collage Exchange have been from 4 x 4 inches to 6 x 6 inches. <BR/><BR/>Oliag: Yes, like minded people are affirming. Thank you.<BR/><BR/>Poemhome: Yes these are all collage. I like papers that “melt” into the whole, and I use quite a bit of paint. I think they end up looking painterly. <BR/><BR/>Willow: Great quote! It reminds me that we are always “at choice.”Leslie Avon Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09235003342775117469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196169128467898547.post-42388872934038368842009-02-09T07:18:00.000-08:002009-02-09T07:18:00.000-08:00Another gorgeous piece, Leslie!

I love, love this collage and seeing the inspiration photograph alongside. The collage in the Her Studio Turned Red post is also awesome.......but then all of your pieces really talk to me.

Especially like how you've left the soft color at the top,,,a perfect foil for the creamy rest.<BR/>Much of your work is given an Asian feel with the strong black strokes.

For many artists this can be a difficult thing though as we are so scattered across the world. I agree that blogging helps though which is why I do it.Philiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16068141700005383278noreply@blogger.com
