sweet Perugina! i have missed you so! i wondered and wondered where you were. so glad you are back.

i had to look up "capolavaro" and i think you are exaggerating - a lot. but thank you for your faith and enthusiasm!

thanks for your wishes on Shanghai also. i have discovered that Alvaro Castagnet and Joseph Zbukvic had pieces entered in the show that have won prizes! i did not realize just how "big" a show this is. i feel humbled and pleased just to have a piece anywhere in the vicinity of these masters. i am sure i have gone as far as i will go on this attempt - but i will try and enter again in the future!

:)

I just love this last painting of yours, Joel...How do you get such a soft, misty effect that flows into the colors??

joel said...

Thanks Nancy! i think my soft misty effects might be a trade secret? perhaps i should write a book. i wonder if it would sell?

actually, i might need to put it on record so that i could figure it out myself. all i know is that it involves a lot of water...
