GREAT picks, as always! I REALLY liked the piece by Aline Ordman…wonderful colors. And my second fav was the piece by Judith McKenna…nice subject matter/composition with limited palette.
Continue to enjoy your monthly blog! (and yes, I voted for your Blog)
Thanks,
Randall.

You are so welcome Jude! It’s such a beauty. I love that even though it’s fairly low key, it has a warm and bright feeling about it. Love the balance between big shapes and individual marks. Glad you enjoy the overall commentary too 😀
