It had every size of every brush you could imagine- from brooms to 0000 sables. Mind blowing! I wonder if it's still there. I'll have to post some pix of my collectibles some day. -stevesteve shriverhttp://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/artworks/114539498577801?ref=tsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1751627818853797065.post-82003886413456512632010-01-23T09:32:45.207-06:002010-01-23T09:32:45.207-06:00Angela is here!!!

I came back to see if that was your work....Theresa,<br />I came back to see if that was your work...it is beautiful...I love to paint eyes...those are so soulful...is that a word?<br /><br />I went through your blog to your first post and saw more of your art...extremely inspiring...<br />sooo very beautiful, and your travels certainly have left their im-print in your taste and knowledge.<br /><br />My hat is off to anyone who paints ceilings. <br />I have enjoyed your posts and blog so if you see me flitting around on your site meter just know I am soaking in some inspiration. I tried to leave a comment on some earlier post and I couldn't get the comment to open... I heard that was a real problem in blogosphere right now from other bloggers... it took several try's but I finally got it to work.<br /><br />I think I can learn a great deal from you and I have a hunger for most of the things you are posting about...<br /><br />Also, I didn't realize I was so close to the Blue Moon...I must visit there this spring.<br /><br />I had seen Cote De Texas this afternoon on the African Sketchbook textiles... amazing...I was looking up stencils on Google when I decided to come back and saw your post on those. This is interesting and I might have questions you might answer when I give them a try...I thought of making my own stencils, I know an artist here that does, very tedious work.<br /><br />Thank you for your comment on my blog. It was great to see you visited me.<br /><br />I feel some creativity building up in my left hand...it comes in spurts, so I am hoping to clear my schedule to paint soon. It is such an odd sensation. I don't know if that is common or not...I also get very moody. <br /><br />I am rambling so... Have a wonderful evening.<br />LeeLeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18152279577727254578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1751627818853797065.post-52974317590495371602010-01-10T14:38:21.217-06:002010-01-10T14:38:21.217-06:00Lee,

I never thought of using an ash tray to hold a wet brush. Is that a sample of your work in the last picture?<br />LeeLeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18152279577727254578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1751627818853797065.post-39137667317206730412010-01-09T12:35:49.063-06:002010-01-09T12:35:49.063-06:00I love your post!
