That does happen from time to time and no one knows about it. But I've learned that I'm not always the best judge of my own work. <br />The partial circle at the upper right is a cool white, not really a gray at all. I did adjust that color several times. <br />I'm glad you like the color.

That's what has my attention more than the tunnel effect, for some reason; like there's something invested there, even though I imagine the hoses disappearing into the void took the longer effort to paint. <br />Just my thoughts, for what it's worth, in case it's useful. Your palette is gorgeous, as ever. I am, of course, among your work's most devoted fans.Ravenna Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11870831212657666842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658518583188826551.post-11933621071144298522015-02-26T09:53:10.146-05:002015-02-26T09:53:10.146-05:00Thank you, Cora.
