I am working through an Open College of the Arts Printmaking course and here are some of the prints made during this time. Printmaking by post? Yes it not only is possible thanks to a really switched on tutor and great materials as guides and instructions, but it is really working. I needed feedback and a good kick to get out of an artistic rut, and I believe it to be time and money well spent. Mind you it does take quite a bit of time.</div></div><br /><div><br /><div></div><br /><div align="center">The Cherry tree print was made for an online group Barenforum to help raise funds for the Japanese after the earthquakes and Tsunami in March; called 'Alone' . Next to it is 'Pompeii Memory', followed by Maiden Castle and lastly Avebury Mystery.</div><br /><div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><br /><div></div><br /><div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><br /><div></div><br /><div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><br /><div></div><br /><div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><br /><div></div></div></div>JennifersCabinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01154635300563269724noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2902153418166883725.post-69907026769058482202011-01-13T03:55:00.000-08:002011-01-13T04:29:10.647-08:00London exhibitions<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Bdf6KcDIBuo/TS7rwuQOH8I/AAAAAAAAAX4/D687u2pn85g/s1600/2011%2B01%2B09%2B026.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 240px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561641812131454914" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Bdf6KcDIBuo/TS7rwuQOH8I/AAAAAAAAAX4/D687u2pn85g/s320/2011%2B01%2B09%2B026.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Bdf6KcDIBuo/TS7rwQeIgYI/AAAAAAAAAXw/fsWCDDkx1Po/s1600/2011%2B01%2B09%2B025.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 240px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561641804136743298" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Bdf6KcDIBuo/TS7rwQeIgYI/AAAAAAAAAXw/fsWCDDkx1Po/s320/2011%2B01%2B09%2B025.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div>Intensive trip to London, saw the Glasgow Boys at the Royal Academy, <a href="http://www.royalacademy.org.uk/exhibitions/glasgow-boys">http://www.royalacademy.org.uk/exhibitions/glasgow-boys</a> , Paul Cezanne's the card players at the Courtauld and Drawings at the British Museum. </div><br /><br /><div>The Cezanne little exhibition had collected together many drawing, tryouts, studies etc connected to Cezanne attempting to create a 'proper academy' picture for posterity. It is humbling to see just how hard he worked at it all, particularly as he was considered second rate at the time! <a href="http://www.courtauld.ac.uk/gallery/exhibitions/2010/cezanne/">http://www.courtauld.ac.uk/gallery/exhibitions/2010/cezanne/</a></div><br /><div></div><br /><div>While at the BM as usual I popped into the Japan Gallery and thought you would enjoy the two Hokusai on show. The pictures were chosen as Winter pictures and Hokusai was 88 years old when he did them. Which reminds me does everyone know the little book 'The Old Man Mad About Drawing' A Tale of Hokusai written by Francois Place originally in French (Le vieux fou de dessin)? US ed pub in 2004 by David R. Godine, Boston . French ed pub by Editions Gallimard Jeuness, Paris in 1997. It is wholly enchanting and contains a beautifully simply explanation of woodblock printing. </div><div></div><div>Have done some monoprints and am trying to get myself to do at least one drawing a day. Have a wonderful year everyone.</div><br /><br /><div></div></div>JennifersCabinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01154635300563269724noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2902153418166883725.post-69529246466639611832010-12-23T02:05:00.000-08:002010-12-23T02:50:57.662-08:00Turning over new leaves<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Bdf6KcDIBuo/TRMnM15_BNI/AAAAAAAAAXk/qOzIs_W0brs/s1600/2010%2B12%2B18%2B013.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5553825867060151506" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Bdf6KcDIBuo/TRMnM15_BNI/AAAAAAAAAXk/qOzIs_W0brs/s320/2010%2B12%2B18%2B013.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Bdf6KcDIBuo/TRMnMhLIpAI/AAAAAAAAAXc/NhJNo-2Jn7U/s1600/2010%2B12%2B12%2B046.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5553825861494940674" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Bdf6KcDIBuo/TRMnMhLIpAI/AAAAAAAAAXc/NhJNo-2Jn7U/s320/2010%2B12%2B12%2B046.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Bdf6KcDIBuo/TRMnMFfvXoI/AAAAAAAAAXU/0PG8G4WTx2E/s1600/2010%2B12%2B02%2B059.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5553825854065172098" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Bdf6KcDIBuo/TRMnMFfvXoI/AAAAAAAAAXU/0PG8G4WTx2E/s320/2010%2B12%2B02%2B059.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div>This monthly blog can show no new work as my unhappy body is still in recovery mode. All is improving and I have been swimming again, albeit very gently. The whole experience has forced a 'who am I and where am I going' rethink. At one point I thought I could never make art again, which brought realisation of how important it is to me. Now I am more hopeful, and have been wanting to kickstart a new search for individuality and originality, rather than the focus on technique which has marked the previous decade.</div><div> </div><div>As a result, I have signed up for an Open College of Arts Printmaking remote learning course. I am hoping this will give me both feedback and direction, and make me work harder at keeping sketchbooks and digging deeper for that elusive origionality. <a href="http://www.oca-uk.com/">http://www.oca-uk.com/</a> </div><div></div><br /><div>I am also working my way through the book 'The Artist's Way' by Julia Cameron pub by Jeremy Tarcher/Putnam ISBN 1585421464 2002. The language is a bit New Age over the top, but many of the ideas are helpful. The author recommends writing a daily 'stream of conscousness' words. I haven't done this since I was 18 and influenced by Virginia Woolf but hey.. it's fun! I hope to add random drawings to this mix, but am stuck at present, so am working through a very basic book 'The Complete book of Drawing' by Barrinton Barber instead. This provides exercises which I hope will loosen me up. Page 1 suggested a different way of holding the drawing stick which was a surprise.</div><br /><div></div><div>So in summary, I have thrown myself into another adventure, which those that know me will recognise as something I need to do quite regularly in my life. I will send postcards along the way. Meanwhile some pictures from snowy Dorset. </div><div> </div><div>Season's Greetings to you all and Happy Printmaking</div></div></div>JennifersCabinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01154635300563269724noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2902153418166883725.post-84254167536977128562010-11-19T07:40:00.000-08:002010-11-19T08:04:03.394-08:00Exhibition continued<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Bdf6KcDIBuo/TOacXtOfp7I/AAAAAAAAAXM/s8Mp1PA5W-U/s1600/2010%2B11%2B19%2B002.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5541288322617288626" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Bdf6KcDIBuo/TOacXtOfp7I/AAAAAAAAAXM/s8Mp1PA5W-U/s320/2010%2B11%2B19%2B002.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Bdf6KcDIBuo/TOacV-AMsPI/AAAAAAAAAXE/_AL7c-FqM8s/s1600/2010%2B11%2B18%2B007.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5541288292760989938" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Bdf6KcDIBuo/TOacV-AMsPI/AAAAAAAAAXE/_AL7c-FqM8s/s320/2010%2B11%2B18%2B007.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Bdf6KcDIBuo/TOacVVlOIoI/AAAAAAAAAW8/M3hPeEw4PNk/s1600/2010%2B11%2B18%2B005.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5541288281910420098" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Bdf6KcDIBuo/TOacVVlOIoI/AAAAAAAAAW8/M3hPeEw4PNk/s320/2010%2B11%2B18%2B005.JPG" /></a><br />Just a few extra images of some of my work and the exhibition space. We are in an old farm building ( now a Garden Centre) in what has now become Poundbury, the community that the Duchy of Cornwall is building to provide funds for the Prince of Wales. Prince Charles likes coming to Dorset and is a frequent visitor bringing town planners etc to see some of the ideas demonstrated in Poundbury.<br /><br /><div>Thank you to all who have left encouraging notes.

I find it impossible to make consecutive prints identical using the white line technique,as one is basically painting them on to the wood, with varying results. I have currently started numbering them as A/P1 + date A/P2+date etc. Does anyone have some better ideas?</div><br /><br /><div></div></div>JennifersCabinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01154635300563269724noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2902153418166883725.post-82418872804121019002010-08-16T12:37:00.000-07:002010-08-16T12:48:27.198-07:00Back to the studio<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Bdf6KcDIBuo/TGmU1Iu3wyI/AAAAAAAAAWE/Ng25W_gMFso/s1600/2010+08+16+002.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 200px; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506095660035195682" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Bdf6KcDIBuo/TGmU1Iu3wyI/AAAAAAAAAWE/Ng25W_gMFso/s200/2010+08+16+002.JPG" /></a><br /><div> <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Bdf6KcDIBuo/TGmU0irSsUI/AAAAAAAAAV8/eBy2ICdfuvk/s1600/2010+08+16+002-1.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 150px; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506095649819636034" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Bdf6KcDIBuo/TGmU0irSsUI/AAAAAAAAAV8/eBy2ICdfuvk/s200/2010+08+16+002-1.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div>Finally have done some work in the studio. Up against deadlines as the grandchildren are back at the end of this week. Finally had a go at whiteline in preparation for a Xmas card. A local church. The angelic minstrals are stone carvings inside the same building, I thought they looked rather fun all playing away together instead of being stuck up on separate pillars as they are in reality.</div><div> </div><br /><br /><div></div></div>JennifersCabinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01154635300563269724noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2902153418166883725.post-18633377614023215692010-07-17T07:08:00.000-07:002010-07-17T07:40:25.517-07:00White line<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Bdf6KcDIBuo/TEG_oWuOiDI/AAAAAAAAAVE/XSsTKIjjSjY/s1600/DSC03354.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 200px; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494883720383858738" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Bdf6KcDIBuo/TEG_oWuOiDI/AAAAAAAAAVE/XSsTKIjjSjY/s200/DSC03354.JPG" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Bdf6KcDIBuo/TEG_n2fwV9I/AAAAAAAAAU8/ssoulpj9Clo/s1600/DSC03353.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 150px; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494883711733225426" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Bdf6KcDIBuo/TEG_n2fwV9I/AAAAAAAAAU8/ssoulpj9Clo/s200/DSC03353.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Bdf6KcDIBuo/TEG93nLpx5I/AAAAAAAAAU0/uE0PA7UK2e4/s1600/DSC03236.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 200px; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494881783477028754" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Bdf6KcDIBuo/TEG93nLpx5I/AAAAAAAAAU0/uE0PA7UK2e4/s200/DSC03236.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Bdf6KcDIBuo/TEG93a2ZiAI/AAAAAAAAAUs/IRnWEP7S0eA/s1600/DSC03237.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 150px; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494881780166658050" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Bdf6KcDIBuo/TEG93a2ZiAI/AAAAAAAAAUs/IRnWEP7S0eA/s200/DSC03237.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Bdf6KcDIBuo/TEG92wyktgI/AAAAAAAAAUk/xyrHt5LH9lc/s1600/DSC03234.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 200px; HEIGHT: 150px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494881768876324354" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Bdf6KcDIBuo/TEG92wyktgI/AAAAAAAAAUk/xyrHt5LH9lc/s200/DSC03234.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Bdf6KcDIBuo/TEG92bs6iJI/AAAAAAAAAUc/VMGwcmgtLMg/s1600/DSC03235.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 150px; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494881763215444114" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Bdf6KcDIBuo/TEG92bs6iJI/AAAAAAAAAUc/VMGwcmgtLMg/s200/DSC03235.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>Have been to France for the last few weeks, and found some interesting ideas.

<br /><div>Finally this is the result of hard labour. I used a machine made Hosho paper in the end. It has really not turned out as I wanted as I seemed to have slipped backwards in the technique, perhaps I am getting over ambitious. Next time I will go for something smaller!</div>

<br /><div>The image is of Pelicans who have come to roost in the early evening. The lights are solar powered, and the place is at the entrance to Newcastle harbour, about a 100 miles north of Sydney.</div><br />

Imagined as a Dorset Beauty in the tradition of the Japanese beauty series, the print has fallen sadly short of my aspirations. Here are the blocks and 2 of many attempts using different paper. One effort used the lino 'background' block in blue and the other not using that block. I ended up adding hand touching to add more to the girls' features and to the range of colours in the sweets.</div><div> </div><div>This has all taken far too long with not very satisfactory results. I have decided to walk away from it for a while, go into another project and maybe come back to it.<br /><br />Wellworths is a shop which grew out out the ashes of the closed Woolworths in our town. Managed by a brave lass who has worked her way up in the original store from a Saturday girl. A shining beacon of get up and go in these difficult times.<br /></div><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Bdf6KcDIBuo/Sw2c_9BTZAI/AAAAAAAAARM/vp9GjRWF5o4/s1600/DSC02624.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5408151350067553282" style="WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Bdf6KcDIBuo/Sw2c_9BTZAI/AAAAAAAAARM/vp9GjRWF5o4/s200/DSC02624.JPG" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Bdf6KcDIBuo/Sw2c_QR-9EI/AAAAAAAAARE/7-w82FQPOWQ/s1600/DSC02623.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5408151338057921602" style="WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Bdf6KcDIBuo/Sw2c_QR-9EI/AAAAAAAAARE/7-w82FQPOWQ/s200/DSC02623.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Bdf6KcDIBuo/Sw2c-0eaU7I/AAAAAAAAAQ8/Xolke28-Sgw/s1600/DSC02622.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5408151330593854386" style="WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Bdf6KcDIBuo/Sw2c-0eaU7I/AAAAAAAAAQ8/Xolke28-Sgw/s200/DSC02622.JPG" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Bdf6KcDIBuo/Sw2c-XDhAsI/AAAAAAAAAQ0/DpZfUhnIW-A/s1600/DSC02621.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5408151322696417986" style="WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Bdf6KcDIBuo/Sw2c-XDhAsI/AAAAAAAAAQ0/DpZfUhnIW-A/s200/DSC02621.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>JennifersCabinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01154635300563269724noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2902153418166883725.post-53321617490485828302009-10-21T05:49:00.000-07:002009-10-21T06:11:31.081-07:00Valencia<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Bdf6KcDIBuo/St8IQQ4UpBI/AAAAAAAAAQs/0B_L2l6e084/s1600-h/DSC02425.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395039954115273746" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Bdf6KcDIBuo/St8IQQ4UpBI/AAAAAAAAAQs/0B_L2l6e084/s320/DSC02425.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Bdf6KcDIBuo/St8IP_K5mUI/AAAAAAAAAQk/FveS8ODwOSc/s1600-h/DSC02442.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395039949361355074" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Bdf6KcDIBuo/St8IP_K5mUI/AAAAAAAAAQk/FveS8ODwOSc/s320/DSC02442.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Bdf6KcDIBuo/St8IPu8-qrI/AAAAAAAAAQc/WtVvKRI8w1A/s1600-h/DSC02437.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395039945007999666" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Bdf6KcDIBuo/St8IPu8-qrI/AAAAAAAAAQc/WtVvKRI8w1A/s320/DSC02437.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Bdf6KcDIBuo/St8IPVIeBjI/AAAAAAAAAQU/vKdxmYhbUfM/s1600-h/DSC02405.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395039938076870194" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Bdf6KcDIBuo/St8IPVIeBjI/AAAAAAAAAQU/vKdxmYhbUfM/s320/DSC02405.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>Wonderful week catching the last sun of summer in Spain in Valencia.

I had a great week in Amsterdam especially looking again at how much Vincent Van Gogh learned from Japanese prints. Have just returned from a few days in London, mainly to see the Turner exhibition, and how much he too learned from other artists. <br /><br />I also caught the Bankside print exhibition and found that both Sue and Andy from BarenForum had great work on display. I hope sales are good, and it was exciting to feel part of the printing family. Louise from Toronto visited for the day, and it was all too short but great to actually meet a Baren member. <br /><br />I am in the throes of creating a web site (on Louise's advice). Only got to page one but it will grow. <a href="http://www.jenniferscabin.co.uk/">http://www.jenniferscabin.co.uk</a> I was proud of myself, until I saw the stunning e-book that Dave had created. That man is a paragon and an example to us all.<br /><br />I am still carving away at my modern Dorset beauty, but find it hard to keep the separations in my head with so many interupts.<br /><br />Happy printing everyone<br /><br />All the best to everyone and happy printing.JennifersCabinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01154635300563269724noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2902153418166883725.post-88043050604224090142009-08-18T09:11:00.000-07:002009-08-18T09:25:28.971-07:00Exhibiting<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Bdf6KcDIBuo/SorU9xcUcfI/AAAAAAAAAP0/B_AF-AJa39M/s1600-h/DSC02186.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371339663301964274" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Bdf6KcDIBuo/SorU9xcUcfI/AAAAAAAAAP0/B_AF-AJa39M/s320/DSC02186.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Bdf6KcDIBuo/SorU9UZkyOI/AAAAAAAAAPs/dk3vlcMduLU/s1600-h/DSC00277.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371339655505823970" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Bdf6KcDIBuo/SorU9UZkyOI/AAAAAAAAAPs/dk3vlcMduLU/s320/DSC00277.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div> </div><div> </div><div>Going through my finished work looking for pictures to display at the local Art Club show, I wondered about this question of personal style.
