And the layers seemed to each work something out, within you as well as on the canvas. I find the finished painting beautiful and light, in a way I really didn't expect based on the first couple of layers! Glad you allowed yourself to be so playful, and that you documented it so we could come along for a little bit of your journey :)Neopagan Priestesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15389878173900385163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158245992923239671.post-82927384887268463002014-06-14T15:18:09.312+02:002014-06-14T15:18:09.312+02:00Thanks my friend, I've put the keyhole there a...Thanks my friend, I've put the keyhole there after my post about the High Priestess.
