(Recently, I notice that there are other painters/photographers who share my opinion and are ‘incorporating’;), a few Val Nelson composition/subject elements into their work.)
Wishing you the very best…

I love the mix of ideas and focus (foci?) and your thoughts on your process and the pursuits of others.

This is inspiring me to try to create something myself. Can’t get more optimistic than that.

Cheers
Robin
