That should do the trick.<BR/><BR/>Thanks Angela, and that is our prettiest cat. At least she thinks she is.<BR/><BR/>Steven, I like mundane comments. I do sit in a chair when I work on the smaller pieces. Usually I stand when I do a larger piece, larger than 18x24. I would wheel around on my chair but I don't really have enough room, plus I try to get up often. I'll post a picture of my work space with chair tomorrow. I wouldn't say that I have a good chair, but it doesn't hurt me.<BR/><BR/>Hi Stacers, Nice to hear from you-I miss your posts! How are YOU doing?<BR/><BR/>Despite not having a break between shows, not even a day, I am doing pretty well. And I once I get over the shock of how much there is to do, I actually end up feeling pretty inspired when I am so busy. I think some of my best pieces have been done during this kind of hectic schedule.<BR/><BR/>Mother Angel, Thanks, I much prefer warm colors too. In person you can see that even the cool colors in my work are warm.Tracy Helgesonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07510044613771862211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22266501.post-1158954041813644962006-09-22T15:40:00.000-04:002006-09-22T15:40:00.000-04:00They are beautiful and skilled, all of them!I love...They are beautiful and skilled, all of them!<BR/>I love the warm colours...AngelaFerreirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07250342966462007988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22266501.post-1158953955603213112006-09-22T15:39:00.000-04:002006-09-22T15:39:00.000-04:00Dang - you've been busy!!

But technically, I love the quality of Schmincke, Old Holland, Williamsburg and Rembrandt. Then there are are colors that I use all of the time by Grumbacher and Gamblin. So a variety would be a shorter answer!<BR/><BR/>June, you flatter me! But if I were famous there'd be more photos of me and I am not photogenic at all. Seeing bad photos of myself would be much more stressful than all of this. Anyway, thanks...<BR/><BR/>Shan, Thanks, glad to hear a compliment about the red barn, that's the one that Doug, my barometer, didn't have much to say about. I just painted the barn/tree piece this morning so I will put that up tomorrow.<BR/><BR/>Thanks Lisa, I struggle sometimes because part of me wants to be really logical and make things realistic but the other part wants to just paint color and shapes that harmonize and don't make any sense.Tracy Helgesonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07510044613771862211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22266501.post-1158937320056539892006-09-22T11:02:00.000-04:002006-09-22T11:02:00.000-04:00I love the blue barn with the pink/purple sky.

I too have trouble sleeping when the stress is becoming a bit overbearing. But you're doing a great job and in the end everything will turn out wonderful! I told my husband the other day, that you're going to be famous someday.
