Winner.

Even better in dialect?

Flapping my fan, vigorously.

Echoing other comments -- WOW. That is breathtakingly amazing.

Flattery will get you cocktails and conversation

Thanks, Miss Mouse. The "amazing" is sheer kindness, but the "breathtaking" shows a fellow craftsman's insight - I think I held my breath while working on the tiniest lines. Probably not a winning long-term strategy, but it keeps my hand steady. How do you do it?

I work between breaths. ^_^ And sometimes I forget that I need to breathe, though that can be problematic when I finally do remember...

One of the reasons I so enjoy your journal is that you have such a nuanced aesthetic combined with an incisive critical faculty, so to have you take the time to offer positive comment-- well, really, I should be thanking you.

but if you're my friend, you got to be yummy.

i actually went "wow....." out loud. i really really like this one, the greater areas of dark and the slight hints of other colors are really striking.

I loved finding out how white paint on other colors, like the black ink, didn't turn into the colors I was expecting. White watercolor on black ink turns into that delicious slate blue.

Thank you for looking, and taking the time to write. It's super nice of you.
