I like this study very much. You've made it look both careful and spontaneous, not an easy effect to achieve. I keep wondering how far you can take this!

This is really superb!

Diana, thanks. Pretty soon I'll start with the oils. It should have a different feel than these studies.

Sandra, I'm so glad you like it!

Have a very happy Thanksgiving ladies!!

Silvina, Such careful looking you are doing. And, I especially love the drips -- shows a tolerance for chance. Oh, if only I could get my world to run and drip a bit, just to surprise me.

Edgar, tolerance for chance; If I had a little more of that, I might work in watercolor.

Sounds like you & Melinda had a little surprise experience on your vacation!

How did I miss this one in the series? I am in love with the contrast you created with the smaller background pieces and the largest dark pawn, and - oh my those drips!!! Another fabulous one in the series!
