Margaret Ann said...: I love the double page spreads and the grid format you are using enhances it so! It's kind of like getting all sorts of mini-jewels wrapped up in one! Again, wonderful composition and selection of elements...love your thumb holding the page! :); April 13, 2008 5:53 AM
Anita Davies said...: LOL!...Thank you so much Alan!

Thank you Margaret...I love the idea of 'mini jewels'. My first solo exhition was called Hidden Treasures and I created a series of 5x5 roses on canvas entitled 'Little Gems'.; April 13, 2008 12:56 PM
Ann said...: These are so intriguing. I love what you do with the layout of these page spreads. Each part is so marvelous to look at on it's own yet still woven into the whole.; April 13, 2008 3:27 PM

Thank you for your kind words about my work. I've been enjoying your drawings since I encountered them on EDMsuperblog. I like the way you divide up your pages and the lovely soft colours.; April 13, 2008 7:55 PM

Cheryl Gebhart said...: I just love your painting style, and I especially love your grids. I have a question about how you work the grids - do you layout the grid first and then fill it, or do you decide what you want to paint first and then figure out your grid? I know it can be done either way, just curious how you do it.

Anita Davies said...: I do a little of both really Cheryl. I'll start with a large box that fills the page and sometimes I split the box the night before with the intention of producing a grid the following day and sometimes I'll sketch the grid out right there on location, knowing I won't have time for a larger sketch. Either way, I always draw ALL of the boxes together and then fit the art in and around them. I find it a good compositional exercise.
Thankyou for your kind comments, hope my reply answers your question.; April 16, 2008 8:19 AM
Cheryl Gebhart said...: Yes, you answered my question, thank you. I'm going to try doing grids myself.; April 16, 2008 4:31 PM
