Do you do that thing where you collect the eggs then spread them out on the table and debate which egg belongs to which hen? :)<br /><br />It really is a breaking through process and I so relate to the stomping around cranky thing. But persistence pays off and look at them now! Lovely.

Hearing and seeing the thought processes is a treat. The tip about the background colour singing through is one to store away and remember. Thanks.

T...Celia, you new year is off to a fabulous start.<br /><br />Thank you for letting us see some of that sketchbook! And also for showing a bit of how the paintings evolve. Beginning with the terracotta really does set something in motion, and working on a series also lets you not put "all your chickens in one basket" but rather work out several ideas as they pop up. I have loved the various exhibits I have seen over the years of various Monet series ... the exhibits that really did have a lot of cathedrals or haystacks somehow let me get his light play in a different way.<br /><br />Thank you again! xoFranceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220897337333701839.post-78928143221567645592010-01-12T18:22:02.802+00:002010-01-12T18:22:02.802+00:00I love to watch the progression of work... always ...I love to watch the progression of work... always glad to see I'm not the only one who gets frustrated at times!
