I, for example, am pretty much obsessive about the square, and also the rectangle.

When I was a young girl I had a polka dot dress made for me. I wore it out! I use circles a lot in my work, often to the dismay of one of former my agents who claimed she couldn't sell works with circles. Why? I don't know. Maybe it was something personal with her.Evahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06566258201228886795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6477759218685430720.post-92154478239822324792010-07-14T13:30:09.611-07:002010-07-14T13:30:09.611-07:00Donna - today I happened to go on one of those exp...Donna - today I happened to go on one of those exploratory adventures, where I followed a link from one blog to another, without paying too much attention to how far away I went from my original beginning point.

I am with you on collecting rocks, much to my families dismay when we are travelling and I start stuffing them into their suitcases. This reminds me of a Henry Moore exhibit I went to see at the Tate Britain last week. You would love it!!<br /><br />Jeanne :)Jeanne Henriqueshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07986759909478180763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6477759218685430720.post-10585036487369966952010-07-11T09:10:54.622-07:002010-07-11T09:10:54.622-07:00Great coverage of circles Donna..I love circles to...Great coverage of circles Donna..I love circles too...they ARE a 'world initself', they posses a whimsical quality and they are spirited when they enter a canvas.

I also love the small red and rust elements that you include in your work....<br />I went to visit Dick's gallery and enjoyed his work greatly. Thanks Donna for this post that has circled the world...<br /><br />Happy daysDelwynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16813713107604750354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6477759218685430720.post-91878414064330694512010-07-10T13:22:45.218-07:002010-07-10T13:22:45.218-07:00Your art work is gorgeous as usual.
