I don't actually care enough about painting loose to be serious about it.Kari Tirrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16384571410770113274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387617446250558412.post-33007944601619720322010-12-27T09:54:41.142-08:002010-12-27T09:54:41.142-08:00Rather than drugs or alcohol for its loose-ening e...Rather than drugs or alcohol for its loose-ening effect maybe another experiment could be to exercise or dance to move the body and spirt, or even Yoga or meditation for reaching inward. I had a teacher years ago that at the beginning of class taped my conte stick to a 3 foot long stick and told me to draw, it frustrated me at first yet it did loosen up my drawing arm for the class work.tess stiebenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14990043775194246617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387617446250558412.post-91922943797016709582010-06-23T09:51:12.457-07:002010-06-23T09:51:12.457-07:00Thank you, Caroline!

The softness makes it more intimate and expressive. <br /><br />I've also very fond of your recent dog pieces - they're very accomplished and sophisticated.Caroline Peña Brayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08518853222220324027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387617446250558412.post-76964624981714655482010-06-16T14:28:04.144-07:002010-06-16T14:28:04.144-07:00Thank you, Ryan, that's very nice of you to sa...Thank you, Ryan, that's very nice of you to say.

The suede matboard/and liquid courage keeps it looking soft and non-edgy I think. Very nice!
