I also really like classical music that I always listen to when I paint. I love Pergolesi's Stabat Mater, especially the version sung by Emöke Barath and Philippe Jaroussky is fantastic. You must know it, I give you the link just in case... I hope you have a nice time listening to them....;)
It's great to make a piece, to go to the end of the adventure and to paint it. Progress will come quickly with learning, you already have great qualities, tenacity and the courage to create.
Thank you Kev for this beautiful meeting with a great painter. I really like her creations, her work is very neat and some pieces have a touch of Mike Blank, congratulations to Arianna for her fabulous brushstroke!!
