The Collective: abstract painting, summer flowers and color inspiration

by Laura&Tina, in category Collective, Laura's Art

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Dear Tina, I loved reading your last letter. Yes, I agree, drawing is a really good way to slow down and  “see”.  Creating little flower posies and viewing them through the lens of my camera is one of the ways I “see”.  It’s become a large part of my creative process and a meditative… Read More

by Laura&Tina, in category Laura's Art, Working Table
