I still long to do "a kit" now and then, for the simple satisfactions of having all the materials to hand, filling in all the spaces, and knowing when something is truly finished.<br />Margaret Cooterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08529035740804527176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11217277.post-77151018796258760582013-02-28T14:50:52.347-05:002013-02-28T14:50:52.347-05:00My mother in law has a pride of place PBN mediter...My mother in law has a pride of place PBN mediterranean scene done by her late husband. It is not good. but don't tell her that. Now she is in a home, and there isn't much room for anything, but it is still pride of place. Maybe 'before her time' in collecting?<br /><br />When I am there, I look at the worhty of second position print onto board of The Marriage of Tobias and Sara by Jan H Steen. There is always someone moving around in it doing something different.<br />http://www.artbible.info/art/large/861.html<br />She has had it for ages and only just at Christmas found out the artist and subject matter via a quick Google. So we got her the Book of Tobit on her Kindle so she'd have something interesting to read! No really, she was always doing art history courses and art appreciation of different countries at the uni there in York til she fell in the summer.<br />Sandy in the UK<br />Well done for 1600.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04978514536651961190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11217277.post-11106150259134435512013-02-28T09:51:43.422-05:002013-02-28T09:51:43.422-05:00Congratulations on 1600 posts!

I've been celebrating 1000 posts and 10 years as a blogger (Feb. 8) but you have me beaten! ;-) That said, in the past three weeks I've logged in a post just about every day, so maybe I'll catch up sooner than not.<br /><br />Used to do PBN as a kid -- the closest I ever got to detailed representational work; my parents loved my pieces because I blurred the lines a wee bit...framed them and hung them for years; now in storage; my kids can burn 'em! LOL!<br /><br />All the best for 1600 more posts!Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04472013513744969837noreply@blogger.com
