ReplyDeletehi matt, they are getting lovelier all the time. here in NY - didn't properly respond to your missove, will when i slow down.

ReplyDeleteThank you Lizzy, with this one in particular I wanted to explore rich and royal colors, such as gold and violet, something I haven't had much chance to do with the preponderance of grays, blues and blacks in this project. It turned out well, I think. I look forward to your proper response. Enjoy your time here in the U.S.
