And finally, from Patty in Alaska, (who has now "caved" and joined our Cactus Monday bunch-YEA!)
three incredible examples of how artistically diverse she is.
A zentangle...Scherrenschnitte...and a watercolor!
Each time I visit her blog
I come away with my mouth agape...
From the Alaskan wilds to sailing the Caribbean...
Patty has done it all!
I have said it before...a will say it again...
It is such a treat that all of our artistic paths have crossed...
either through trading or blogging
or just luck of the draw...I am amazed each and every day
at the beauty and universality
our artistic world holds.
If only the rest of the world would join in on our joy!
"Peace Out" all!
