Why is this called negative space, BTW??!!

Thank you for your clarity of your process and for the outstanding finished artworks. ❤️

Thanks, Gordy. I sent you a message offline that I hope is more understandable…

Hello Sherry, a process worth taking! I love it all. I especially love the pirate woman face and the fountain with the bird! Love those. May I have permission to use them Sherry?

Thank you for SHER-RING

Thanks for the feedback, La. If you’re going to use those two line drawings, ‘Eye Patch Artist’ and ‘Bird Bath, in your Substack account and credit it (copyright)2024 Sherry KillamArts, that would be fine. If you want to use them elsewhere, please check with me first. Glad you like them.👍🏼

Dearest Sher,

With 12 horses to care for and things that never quite get done, I have missed many of your Weekly Shers.

I haven’t even taken the opportunity to call you and tell you about totaling my car, and dealing with the physical fallout from that.

I’m so incredibly proud of you and so knocked out by your art!!!

Thanks for taking us with you on your journey from less to so much more!!

Love always,

PHL

Sherry, I am so glad you found me. I love color, pattern, and abstract painting too. I even worked for a time applying color and pattern to 3-D forms I created in clay. I so appreciate how you've turned a disability into an asset in your art. You have a unique way of seeing the world. Your art has powerful feminine energy and is lovely. Wonderful. I love Procreate too! Aren't the layers just so handy. I look forward to reading more of your posts and getting to know you better.
