ReplyDeleteThanks Katherine, and congratulations! - but right back at you...if you hadn't reminded me to get the year planner we would both have missed it :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work, Katherine! Well deserved. And now I'm going to sit down and make out my own entry calendar, as I am notorious for missing deadlines!
ReplyDeleteFabulous news, congratulations. These pieces are wonderful. I love the palettes and softness of them. Beautiful work.
ReplyDeleteVery nice botanical drawings. I like that you choose early and late stages.
ReplyDeleteCongratulation Kathriene, both pics are - as always - amazing. You are such a wonderful artist and have always (since I saw your paintings the first time) been an ideal for me.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could see the exhibition too - these are wonderful - I remember Prelude from another post, that slow unfurling from the bud is beautifully drawn.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to you!!! They are lovely pieces---very sensitively and intelligently made. I look forward to your impressions of the exhibition when you see it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the congratulations and comments. I'm really looking forward to seeing the exhibition this year! :)
