That really makes me feel good, as I often find that art is big, just to be big when size matters, as they say....and the scale of the work should be in keeping with the intent of the work. I do prefer to work small, but with big ideas....or at least expanding ideas. And yes, as you say, I was down but it didn't dent my creative sport...cheers!!Missouri Bend Paper Workshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18153989891514458384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6919562061299505596.post-20185386670669447312012-07-26T21:22:33.859-05:002012-07-26T21:22:33.859-05:00Annamaria....thank you so much for the kind words!...Annamaria....thank you so much for the kind words!
