Hola R.! Como vives en Mexico me estoy imaginando que hablas Espanol... Te queria decir que me encanta tu blog. Soy nueva en este mundo de Blog-o-landia, pero me estoy divertiendo mucho en descubrir tantos artistas y tanto talento y tanto para aprender y tanto alegria, y (bueno, I think you get the picture!) No conocia este termino "alla prima", pero estoy feliz de la papaya ahora de haberlo conocido, (gracias a ti!) porque es asi que prefiero trabajar. Y gracias a eses Italianos y eses Franceses - tienen un nombre para todo! N'est pas? Bueno, si tienes un minuto para cliquear en mi nombre, tendras una idea de mis disparates y me encantria tener tus reactiones - si tienes el tiempo. Sino, no te preocupes y te siguire desde lejos... sin molestarte mas... pero triste. Felicitaciones por tu obra y hasta cuando quieras! Aliaena

They are nice paintings. They made me nostalgic, because they made me remember my own pencil sketches of herbs, which I did as a student for my university projects. But then again that is a separate thing, and comes no way in comparison to your marvelous sketches. Just the memory is so much of sweet days. Wish you all the Best.

Wonderful. You've really captured the life in these plants. Your line is strong. And your contrast creates a great feeling of the 3d.

Wonderful lively sketches.

I think you hit the nail on the head, Jala.

I may be moving back to the USA in March and, after getting the iMac out of storage, blogging again. Stay tuned.
