I’m truly humbled by your comments!

You know, the rocks were the hardest part for me. When I did the first layer, I was so discouraged, because I thought they were just going to look like blobs. A friend who is also an artist told me to try painting each rock individually and don’t do them in a cluster, and I think that really helped. (as did a fine point paint pen in a few places). I’m thrilled you think so much of my efforts!
