Something completely different - but I've been following this blog - she could tell you the longevity of the pieces.<br /><br />http://elizabethsthilairenelson.blogspot.com/Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05932533858016149807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2045274146381749089.post-72369572172831303282010-02-03T08:12:06.022-07:002010-02-03T08:12:06.022-07:00Hi Kathy,

In the second layout, my eyes found the plate of food first. My preference is your first layout. That said, your work is so wonderful, I'm certain whichever layout you choose will result in a beautiful finished product!<br />I love following your blog and reading your Booker stories.<br />BetsyBetsy4459https://www.blogger.com/profile/14590183265575170893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2045274146381749089.post-49986076789449804962010-02-02T20:49:39.273-07:002010-02-02T20:49:39.273-07:00Hi Kathy,
Tough call... compositionally, I think t...Hi Kathy,<br />Tough call... compositionally, I think this one is very much stronger. I think the statement is quite clear as well. We are both so fortunately and unfortunately blessed in this country. It's hard to know how and what to do -- how can one even comprehend the scale of the disaster, first off?<br />This blogger is tackling similar thoughts--as are many right now: http://www.socialpoliticalart.com/<br /><br />Collage from newspapers -- how old are the Cubist paintings now in which Picasso and Braque used actual papers--pushing 100, maybe? It will be around long enough to make an impact, I think.<br /><br />Your concerns for all life shows so eloquently in your art work, whether tapestry or your paintings. I appreciate all of the many thoughts you share and the things you do for others.<br /><br />TommyeTommye McClure Scanlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09816922767294739515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2045274146381749089.post-74591010272265080502010-02-02T19:49:12.505-07:002010-02-02T19:49:12.505-07:00ok- I like the oranges in the new layout- but real...ok- I like the oranges in the new layout- but really like the fork and crumbs across the plate- like someone just left,<br />also like the way the papers are laid down in the first- less organized- as for how people will take it- I have no idea-seems like I am always wrong when I guess others responses- you are doing it because you care- there is power in that!Julia Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03577906856043143102noreply@blogger.com
