    You wouldn't think a rope could be so aesthetically pleasing, but that it is.

    I like this SO much. The simplicity of the single rope on the white ground, and yet the complexity of the fibers. It's awesome!

    Wonderful, Debra. As I look at this I know that I would have no idea 'how' to even start, with all that detail!

    This is lovely! It looks so realistic but keeps a 'painterly' aspect!

    Love the interest, color and detail in such an ordinary everyday object. But then again I guess that what art is :) superb!

    Your studies continue to be magical. I can't imagine how you manage to capture every detail without over-working it. It's lovely! nancy
