Olga - yes - making progress is very energizing. It feels great to get this older work finished up. Everyone else left some really great comments that I want to address in more detail so look for another post soon on many of these topics. Thanks everyone.

It is looking beautiful! I also liked the stage before - I saw land and sky and so much movement of another type. Lisa, have you ever considered leaving some of your quilts looking more like the last post? Not meaning better - but just different ... each feel you create is so incredible! But then again, I have a problem with certain mediums - like pastel, charcoal and pencil - of getting too attached to stages of the painting and not wanting it to go past a soft sketchy stage. Once, years ago I even made a second charcoal drawing at the soft stage and then pushed one to completion. It showed me that the soft stage is sweet to my heart - but not finished. So I retract my earlier idea. Oh well ... Thank you again for sharing with us so deeply. I only have been looking at blogs for a week now, but I keep coming back here to read older articles - I LOVE your blog! - Diane Clancy I am really enjoying reading about your process … it is fascinating.

Fusing is fine, but the skill level cannot be compared to piecing (sewing) the design. I love your work because of it's subtlety while still being exciting to look at. Your work draws me in, rather than blaring in my face. I have subscribed to your news letter and look forward to it. Sherrill, Montreal, Quebec Hi Lisa,

I'm thinking most people would have done it the other way around. Yet as I study it, perhaps I see why. I see a bit of landscape here with that lower left shape looking like a sloping hillside and the upper right looking like sky. Am I reading too much into this? ;-> Following up on Marina’s comment about how you’ve “shaded” this piece, is there a particular reason that you chose to make the upper portion more intense and clear while the lower section becomes muted?

I love how it looks now with the top right in 'sharper' lines and contrasts, slowly giving in to more softer nuances. This is so interesting!

It's amazing but the result seems to be a beautiful meld of dynamic action with calm. Powerful stuff. How great also to be able to devote so much time all at once to working on it. Progress like this must be so energising. I love the combination of subtle air colours and the busy-ness of the lines.
