Hmmm.

I actually like it better in the "unedited" unstretched photo!

Just curious-- In your experience, do people prefer to buy stretched or unstretched?

kesha - i think this painting could have gone SO many different directions. it was a rare one, in that every step along the way I knew i could stop - but i also knew i could go further and see what was NEXT... this was a teaching painting. but it does make me so happy to hear that my first instincts in a painting are working for people. it gives me confidence in trusting that voice that says "stop - it is complete now - take this energy to the next one".

manda - thank you!

kesha - i forgot to answer your other q about canvas. this is a new thing working on unstretched canvas. i am familiar with working with pre stretched or hand stretched canvases, and I'll always LOVE a stretched canvas, but I like this too because I can get a little more aggresive with my strokes on the surface. i like switching gears every now and then with materials and mediums.

Hi Jessica,

I am quite sure I commented on this post before, but I have been hearing rumblings of blogger eating comments. :)

What I said, to the best of my memory is I really love this painting so very much! The colors and the composition are fantastic! It is also so uplifting to view it! I can imagine so many places this would look great...it should be scooped up quickly!

Excellent, Jessica!
