[Woodcarver] carving projects

[maricha]

hi  ivan,

sorry for the delay... but am still catching up with your picturetrail...

each time i visit, i enter a magical world for artists..always learn
heaps,.... your allina project is real kool...... lots of symbols, great
work and composition... wow
then KNOCK ON ANY DOOR... particularly like the perspective ... eye
catching... in your other carvings.... they are all great but the portrait
on the log with the bark left is really special, well the dancers...they all
lookgreat, bob vila.... makes me wonder what is behind those eyes...
thinking here and beyond... I felt so relaxed admiring your watercolours,
their sweeping and harmonious blending into the painting ..whilst your oil
paintings, i found made me look deeper made me think deeper.... by sharing
your work i feel each time i visit that i learn so much more out of every
inch i see, yet all i can say to you are some words that cannot really say
what i envisage the works would be in reality.... your selfportrait with a
flair for modernity is not only kool but great.... again   THANK YOU...
cheers
maricha
