Hi Gail,
I have my audio volume set as high as possible on my IMac & can’t hear this video very well. Is there any setting you can change at your end to make it easier to hear?

  Hmmmm….that is strange Shirley. I am on a mac and it plays just fine. I’ll see if anyone else is having audio problems and I’ll also have a look at my end. I do want to get this sorted for you!

I am always taken with shadowed tree branches up against an illuminated backdrop. In this case, a twisted juniper and a rosy Sedona cliff face. It becomes like stained glass with the etched twigs like leading holding the glowing colours.

Lyn Asselta, End of the Street, 2012, pastel on Wallis paper, 8 x 8 in This may have been the beginning of my obsession with telephone lines. This little scene is next to a gas station and could be anywhere, which is probably why I like it. Funny, but at the time I painted it, I had no idea that in a few years I would build a house a couple streets from here. The scene hasn't changed much over the past few years, but I love the morning light here and the way the telephone lines lead you across the street.

The Importance of Play In Art: 7. I decided I like the painting in the second orientation so back it went upside down. I kept working on it. This is as far as I got. I quite like it as is but I need to give it some time. Then I'll come back and see what it needs. I'll let you know if and when I change it. (This photo is a bit darker than it actually is.)

Bill Creevy offers advice on dealing with artist’s block

Action is the antidote: A wee break and when I came back, I could see that the light patches with darker purples surrounding them gave a feeling of sunlight coming through even though the light was showing cool. As it was this coolness of an overcast day that was the main attraction, something that made the distant light patches stand out, I wanted to make sure we could feel it wasn't a sunny day but rather, a bright overcast one. And I could fuss this to death so time to call it quits!! Gail Sibley, The Light in the Distance, Unison Colour pastels on UART 320 grade paper, 6 x 9 in.
