I've wiped/sanded the board clean because my initials were too distracting.

I really like it's naive quality. BUT it's visually burdened by a big loopey WHITE signature on dark blue. I've thought of buying it and painting out the signature....<br /><br />We should all develop a confident signature. Your joined initials are discreet but are more than a squiggle because they are bracketed by two dashes.<br /><br />My signature has first, middle and last names - all with the same amount of letters- and I stack them in a cube. But if I think it's too complicated (on a small of very simple composition) I shorten it to my initials or last name. Sometimes I paint it or use pencil; but I never use ball-point pen.<br /><br />'Nuf of that. I like the reflected blue light bouncing onto the pears. If you cut a pear (or apple) across its stem you get a little star; free gift with purchase!DSMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15875799058873698698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34529982.post-52036893685096500892010-01-07T04:47:19.249-08:002010-01-07T04:47:19.249-08:00HI - any thoughts on dating the painting too?

Someone told me I should and I read something someplace else suggesting it too - not convinced all that information along w/signature belongs on the front or not?Lisa Dariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02443381570976798391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34529982.post-52792707129389547942010-01-07T00:25:54.314-08:002010-01-07T00:25:54.314-08:00Hi Carol, Love your paintings.
