Is hard to believe they'd part with them. I like the idea of museum donation. My Dad painted a couple large oils....my sister donated them to Community Warehouse's Estate Store. Now I wish we still had them for the grandchildren who knew him.Melody Clearyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09793115141011175217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3188700731713860207.post-34982945847978703582015-01-01T08:44:43.748-08:002015-01-01T08:44:43.748-08:00Wow!

What a serious commitment to your art and to art itself for her to go through so much to meet you and acquire some of your work. Perhaps her heirs could donate the three pieces to a museum in Boise.<br />Of your work posted here, I am most surprised by the second piece with its electric blue/yellow combinations, and I can't recall seeing anything quite like that in your work, but it is very appealing to me. You draw out the beauty in nature in the most delightful ways.Mitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03320277970095573853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3188700731713860207.post-80315338271755066222015-01-01T00:58:49.333-08:002015-01-01T00:58:49.333-08:00Hello,
I found your blog and work a couple of wee...Hello,<br /><br />I found your blog and work a couple of weeks ago and have been enjoying both!<br /><br />Can't answer the paper question exactly but maybe this will help a bit - cartridge paper is what we use for drawing here in the UK, it comes in various weights and is usually sized for wet media, these days at least. And yes it does take watercolour pretty well, depending how heavy it is. You get a lot of granulation and it is good for wet in wet I find. Also good to draw on over the colour.<br /><br />Often it is named for counties - for example I use Norfolk cartridge 210gsm - and it's named like this because originally it was used to wrap gunpowder for muskets, and would have presumably been made locally.<br /><br />As for what it's made of - well these days I don't know if it can be got made of linen fibres but I doubt it, it's usually made of rag and wood pulp, and is inexpensive for that reason.Texture wise it's almost the same as what is described as vellum in the USA. <br /><br />I'll send you some samples if you like - and not mind handing your address over to a total stranger!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05066730008932728469noreply@blogger.com
