    Now on this we have to know ‘how you did it Sarah. I have never in my life seen an artist that is so able to make a substance look like it’s something else the way you do. Anyone would vow that this is chrome and metal. I think this is one of the nicest things you brought us. Really an outstanding piece.

    Does a shadow leave behind a foot print? You convince me it does. This is amazing, Sarah.
    I am impressed.

    I love this one, Sarah. Also my favorite of your’s to date. I love the beautiful color composition!

    how difficult it is to capture light; how even more difficult it is to suggest movement. Sarah, to me it suggests broken glass mosaics the time it must of taken to attend to each piece of this canvas. and I thought your poem was the star this month!

    Thank you very much to all! I think the trick, for me, is to know when to stop mixing colors, just the black and white here, and then in manipulating them until I have a ‘that’s it’ moment :) And, yes, for sure, this medium does do alot of borrowing/mimicking from other mediums for inspiration.
