Just wait, he'll become your greatest competition soon. <br />My dad was whining recently that he cannot get back to landscapes (specifically water) and I had to remind him that he is a great artist; he just needs to do it.. So, when I was a kid he was my inspiration, and now it is my turn :)<br />Have a great day!<br />Irinairinasztukowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00691108715286121956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7250068323501618005.post-4625977232386525412010-09-24T15:10:15.847-05:002010-09-24T15:10:15.847-05:00Carrie, you are amazing!!

Thanks for your comments.<br /><br />Carol, Thanks! I'm not sure how many hours, you know you just grab them when you can, in between diapers, and baths and preschool drop off and pick up. I worked on it off and on for 2 weeks.<br /><br />Pamela Thanks so much, Steven and I both appreciate your comments!<br /><br />Anudeepa, Thank you for your comments. I will tell Steven that you like his work:) We both lobe that you visited our blog.<br /><br />Elizabeth, Thanks! It is pretty crazy, my Mom described it as a Halloween kaleidoscope. The boys did have fun dismantling it:)<br /><br />Nancy, Thank you! I hadn't noticed the candy corn in Steven's picture, you're very observant:)<br /><br />J.B. Welcome back! Hope you had some quality time with your horses. Thanks for stopping by:)<br /><br />PVE, Always love to read your comments. Fortunately most of the candy in the dish is not my cup of tea. I will admit I partook in some candy corn:) We still have some jelly beans and licorice.<br /><br />Olivia, Thank you for stopping by. Come on over and have some licorice, there's a little left. It's the good kind too--German and Finnish:)<br /><br />Virginia, Glad you liked it.

Candies are very slightly acid and brilliant. They tempt to crunch them. The black and white fund emphasizes them.
