This one is just awesome! Would love to see it in person to really look at it! Is that tree a stamp? Love it!

Love it!! The blues/watercolor feel to it is especially soothing today. Is that Rilke's quote in the background?

Shirl, Yes, the tree is rubber stamped. This scan is very close to how it looks. The piece I did yesterday is really beautiful when it's in hand but the scan is muddy, the colors and contrast not right. It actually has a dream-like quality and the white flowers appear to be floating. I checked it out on my monitor and on the laptop's and neither do it justice.

Annie, the words are a page of quotes on the topic "Answer" that I tore from an old book and painted. There may be a Rilke quote in there, but as I recall most of the quotes were lame and not of Rilke caliber. : )

Love it! Love it! Love it! Still think this project is a book in the making.

The tree is beautiful, but I love the red question mark, with yellow around it, then blue. This one is truly magnificent, V. I agree with Kim. A book!
