I am glad you understand what I was trying to say. We work hard in this family to make a difference and there is no reason for me not to carry that right into my studio, too. I do get on jags about certain things - like now it is the BPA which comes in contact with our food and wrecks havoc with our endocrine systems. I am glad, Andrea, you are going to take a closer look at your studio practice. San, any little bit can make a tremendous difference. It makes a difference to all of us and sometimes the most difficult choices are the most profound. Andrea, living in grizzly country requires a specific lifestyle. They are majestic animals who require great respect. The thing is they can move very fast if they need to or wish. This summer, my husband and son came upon one when they were hiking in Glacier National Park. Yes, it sure made their hearts pound, but they kept their heads and were left alone in the end. It was the first time that had happened to any members of our family in years and years of backcountry hiking in Grizzly Country. There are not a lot of these creatures remaining. Thank you both!

Your post also inspîres to go and use USED material and things..... I think I will pay more attention to this now, ready to find a solution to use leftovers better! Your painting has made something completely new out of bits of paint, leftovers. Something so complex. It looks like the deep ocean full of unseen things. oh and I love grizzlies!
