    What a journey. But I enjoyed looking at the changes you've done. Good for you to have this kind of journey.

    I was fascinated reading this page and I even got nervous for you as the deadline got closer! The final painting is beautiful and I'm not surprised that the aunt and her family love it. Blessed by an Angel.

    I enjoyed reading your dairy of a watercolor painting. And all of your personal notes kept me glued to read it all! Your finished painting is wonderful. I've never heard of masking fluid so I learned something too. I saw this lens at WordCustard's Angel Blessing page and had to stop by and see what it was all about. I'm so glad I did.

    Beautiful! I blogrolled it to my somewhat similar lens which is a diary of making my daughter's ketubah.

    Michele,
    Came here from your Zazzle forum...what an informative piece. I've always wondered about how paintings get "put together" from start to finish.
    "Was this taken in the '70's?" hahaha!
    At first sight of the pix I thought "That looks like a scene out of Harry Potter" and then I read your little tidbit about the next movie...cooool!

    Michele, I found my way to your masterpiece thanks to fellow lensmaster EditionH, Martin. What a beautiful journey you have presented. Congratulations on your commission. This has been a lovely experience and wonderful way to start my day! I am blessed.

    Hi Michelle, congratulations to this successful commissioned water color painting. You did an amazing job on it ! Commissions are difficult and your diary is a vivid record with the best possiblke ending! I hope there will be many more art lenses by you! But beware, also more commissions will be most certainly the result! :).
