Each week now I come here wondering where you, Mary, will take me. I so enjoy the artifacts that you embellish your paintings with, this week no exception!

Very nice. I like the grid, and the words a lot, and don't get me started on how much I love Hawaii... Do you scan you work or use a camera? Your images are always so crisp and clear. Thanks so much! :)

Hello Mary
You seem to have a very popular blog with many loyal followers :)
I really love the colours you have used in your 'Journey' painting - they are the same colours in your photo too - ie probably the colours you wear and love most. Beautiful. I am looking forward to getting to know you and see more of your paintings, love fellow BYW student Gabs x

How exciting your work is Mary. You really put soul into it. I totally agree about how fun and what a learning experience it would be to watch you work. Perhaps you can do a video?? Huh? What, yes? tee hee. Take care Mary and really do hope to see you in action one day. I don't know how to video tape myself so I wouldn't be taping myself working, but then who would want to see me anyway. hahahah. Just a little humor. Take care and have a great weekend.

Hi mary, I can just imagine what fun you have putting all these bits and pieces together. I once made a grid too and put stuff I liked together to make a whole. Patsy from <br /><a href="http://patsypat.blogspot.com"

Very nice, Mary. Great to see the details up close. Vicki was right, you take map work to a new level. I do some in my art journal, but you've made an art out of it. Happy Sunday from Ukraine.
