What strange times these are! Makes me think we are on a threshold, truly, of a Renaissance! Like the tidal wave drags out all the moisture from a shore just before it slams the landscape, we are SO in a dry zone, worldwide, right now. Like you are doing, if we can all just keep working at some small creativity, even if it doesn't work well... but I do love your enamel work! It's gorgeous!Elsbeth McLeodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16015995185662812344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6433515488823955689.post-3770084921901148992014-03-16T16:52:15.483-07:002014-03-16T16:52:15.483-07:00Your enamels are wonderful!

I admire your persistence and resolution--I tend to give up and read a book.EMMEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01161932411656414239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6433515488823955689.post-8348194341651507042014-03-15T22:21:15.104-07:002014-03-15T22:21:15.104-07:00Hi Jackie, I really would like to thank you so ver...Hi Jackie, I really would like to thank you so very much for your time, your generous sharing of knowledge and encouragement you give us through your blog (I do look forward to your posts) and your interesting links.

When your muse is ready, she will be raring to go with some big breakthroughs, I suspect. I tend to think of these creative droughts as incubation for the various discoveries that we can only ruminate on when the time for painting is just not yet. Best wishes to you as you deal with the stresses in your life. And thank you for your blog and your generous spirit.Leslie Bishopnoreply@blogger.com
