Hi Marianne,

I am so glad this brought you to consider the inktense again. Don’t you think that is one of the most exciting things about reading blogs…you just never know when something will create a spark for you to grab to fan into a flame.

You have been missed, Marianne!

Have a Lovely Day!

With your art, you are so generous with showing your works in progress and sharing your processes and I think that is an amazing, amazing talent. Even your writing, you are so wonderful about allowing us to peek in and "watch over your shoulder"! Yes, I think you are even more like that than I am as far as loving the process more than the product.<br/><br/>Thanks so much, Suki. Your generosity and kindness is amazing ...most amazing!<br/><br/>Sending hugs and hopes for a great weekend.

In addition, the paper has such a texture that I don't even have to know I am moving the camera. <br/><br/>I give the sketching a shot. I am clearly not good with the kind of pressure to be bound to it, but usually get to it if I don't pressure myself. :)<br/><br/>I will be watching your daily sketches....<br/><br/>Thanks Cris!

You care less about the work when it's completed than when you were working on it. In that case, I'd have to agree. I don't care so much about my completed works in fact often give them away although if someone wants to pay for one thats okay too. I sometimes like to look at old work to remind myself who I was back then and what I was doing but yes for me the interest and draw is in the working out of whatever in itself.

If it has black marks then it is just right. when I enlarge it I get blur. but I LOVE the colors and design.<br/>Kudos on the daily sketchbook drawing. I joined the drawing a day group again this year. Hope I can keep up with it. I like this piece as is.

For me, when I decide something is complete, I care far less about it than I did while I was in the process. It is not that I don't like it, but I am so ready to move to the next project without any more thought to the final product. Is that why I have a struggle with putting things on this blog? I don't know...<br/><br/>Thanks Suki...you are amazing at making me think. Thanks Suki,

Yes, shadow seems to be the idea of these black lines.

Great jewel tones.<br/><br/>I don't know if I'm process or end-result. I can get absorbed in process, but I'm also mindful of the end result. Often when I call a painting "finished," I will then go back to tinker with it, swinging back to process. When it comes to the process/end-result continuum, I guess I'm bipolar.

I too like the black. It reminds me of the way people emphasize depth and shadow when they letter. I am very much interested in process, it is true. However, I feel a sense of satisfaction when something finally comes to rest and I can call it finished.
