I've had such a rough time with demanding clients this week, that your spirit shines brightly over all the other stuff. You're just like that. I wish I could pop over to knock on your door and say Hi! :D<br /><br />:-) MarionAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499442282999349686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18512875.post-92230149071804916492013-04-22T11:37:21.313-07:002013-04-22T11:37:21.313-07:00Thank you, Marion.

I haven't answered them all yet, but I think I will make a more detailed post about how I understand my eating issues from food journaling. You're right, I haven't really done that. <br /><br />One little thing I disagree with--I think that you DO have your answers, Loretta. I think they are all within you, you just have to find them. And when other people, like me, say something that resounds in you--it is because you are recognizing something *inside yourself* that you know to be true. :D <br /><br />:-) Marion<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499442282999349686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18512875.post-49046174693702556472013-04-10T16:21:21.318-07:002013-04-10T16:21:21.318-07:00I'm glad you enjoyed seeing it, Debby. :-)I'm glad you enjoyed seeing it, Debby. :-)Rettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10034267067410245582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18512875.post-19236436166736805662013-04-10T15:21:56.722-07:002013-04-10T15:21:56.722-07:00Loretta!

When the sides are nicely finished, there is no need for a frame, unless one just wants one. So I just continue the image around to the sides, which I enjoy better than just a solid painted color. More fun this way, to me. :-)<br />I'm getting excited... in a couple of days our new destination for the next Virtual Paintout will be announced. Vevie is curious to know where she will be going next! ;-)Rettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10034267067410245582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18512875.post-85813030366038414262013-03-30T17:39:44.214-07:002013-03-30T17:39:44.214-07:00Wow!

They are captivating the way they wrap around the moon. I see why Vevie is looking at them. LOL!<br /><br />I am curious to know why you paint around the corners. (Of course, this is coming from a non-artistic folk.) Is it to make sure the edges are finished? <br /><br />Fantastic job!<br /><br />Karen Elizabeth Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17190485992966502931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18512875.post-56543329717409692662013-03-29T08:53:46.331-07:002013-03-29T08:53:46.331-07:00What a wonderful comment to start the day off with...What a wonderful comment to start the day off with... thank you so much! :-)Rettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10034267067410245582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18512875.post-74927916730330041652013-03-29T05:11:40.026-07:002013-03-29T05:11:40.026-07:00Your painting has a very personal look and feels l...Your painting has a very personal look and feels like the embrace of actual moonlight.
