That is too exciting, Jeffrey! Great story, though.
Beautiful painting. I really love the swirls in the upper painting too.
Why, oh why, does everything gravitate toward the gobs?! Guess that's what we do, so why not everything else?
Stay safe out there.
You certainly did have a wee adventure there Jeffrey, glad it didn't spoil the painting! I love the colours in this painting the sea is almost turquoise blue and the heavy sky has purple tones. Very lovely.
Thanks Melinda...and yes, enough said =:-/
