    Sara, I love your work. It is so natural and organic. It’s not just a bunch of little curly cues and shapes that don’t come naturally in nature. I caught the little string of hearts in the first showing and then noticed they were gone when you worked more on your canvas. I like it much better without the hearts. Watching you gives a poor old woman Hope. I live in a tiny apartment and the only place I have it’s on top of my washing machine. I am in there daily trying to learn this natural form of painting. Keep up the good work. I too, am the mother of a premature baby. She was born in the 60’s and there was not the sophisticated equipment we had now. She did survive and lived a wonderful 49 years before a stroke took her away. She did leave me with two wonderful grandchildren and I live because of them. I wish you so much love for your babies.

    This is so pretty and thanks for giving that plum color you made more prominence because it's a very pretty color. I know your client will be thrilled. Do you ever wonder if your clients knew how you achieved your results they would be shocked. I can just hear someone say, "what you blew with a silicone straw?" Truly the pearl effects would be mystifying and quite actually really is. It's all chemistry I know, a subject which was a foreign language to me. Elyse Fournier did a video showing the chemical reactions of acrylic paints when forming fractals and it was truly fascinating as she added more colors and the colors would flow into the rivers of color and branch out into those fractals. It was so satisfying to watch and she had beautiful music with it and it was so artistically done and some idiot gave her a thumbs down and I simply couldn't believe that someone would do that. I guess there are people who never have an inquisitive thought ever. I love your work, you know that and your inquisitive mind makes beautiful art.
