Not saying I love the pressure, but it sure does help me in a lot of ways!Tracy Helgesonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07510044613771862211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22266501.post-47434048653441409022006-12-21T17:04:00.000-05:002006-12-21T17:04:00.000-05:00Tracy- you sure work great under pressure.

No real focal point for your eye to rest. The color and tones are just fine. The Bee Balm is just fantastic.<br />Enjoy the holidays!Peter Yesishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08167175210256144372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22266501.post-70514105353708373562006-12-19T15:44:00.000-05:002006-12-19T15:44:00.000-05:00Thanks, Jan.

I try not to think about or plan the colors beforehand, as it usually gets me into trouble. Sometimes I have an idea of what one color may be like for a barn for example, but I try not to think past that. It's all done as I go for the most part.<br /><br />Thanks Deb, it's actually "Heavy Hydrangeas". I see that I didn't leave enough space and the title got split up. Which wouldn't be a problem if Blogger's preview was accurate, but I digress. It's 18x24. Now that I think of it, these are also the largest sized flowers I have ever done. Maybe that helped me loosen up a bit when I did them.Tracy Helgesonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07510044613771862211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22266501.post-42486559272928865122006-12-19T13:15:00.000-05:002006-12-19T13:15:00.000-05:00and I really like Heavy...how big is it ?and I really like Heavy...how big is it ?Deb Lacativahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03037530669295128974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22266501.post-80329883406545782782006-12-19T12:03:00.000-05:002006-12-19T12:03:00.000-05:00Wonderful colours Tracy.

Do you spend a lot of time working out the colours before you start, or do you figure them out as you go along?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22266501.post-53204142365860425772006-12-19T10:59:00.000-05:002006-12-19T10:59:00.000-05:00Positively swooning over Bee Balm!!Positively swooning over Bee Balm!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22266501.post-64279192653664183362006-12-19T09:43:00.000-05:002006-12-19T09:43:00.000-05:00Thanks Jim!Thanks Jim!Tracy Helgesonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07510044613771862211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22266501.post-38799988807839414992006-12-19T09:28:00.000-05:002006-12-19T09:28:00.000-05:00Tracy - I really like the Pink Bee Balm!Tracy - I really like the Pink Bee Balm!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
