Ooooooh, I love the knotwork, in particular the corner-piece in the top right, something about the colours and the way it twists into points just jumps to me. ~E.

Yep! Up in the right corner I gradually shaded from Winsor Green at the ends to Winsor Blue at the corner, and love that blue-green shading. Got to do more paintings with that combination!

Thank you! It's also now safely on the way to Kansas, by insured Priority Mail, so it will get there safe. Insurance on mail always seems to make them a little more careful with the packages.

I am so relieved the package is done and gone. I'd been dreading getting into that closet and packing it up, but I did it this morning and it wasn't that bad and it all got done. Despite much confusion I managed to get it out tonight at a huge 24-hour post office, and that is just so cool. I packed it using a plastic wrapped Amazon book stiffener so it's completely safe.

It took me a good day doing this piece. It took a few weeks of playing an RPG and keeping my character record entirely in that font in a Pilot ultrafine green felt tip to get it to where I was familiar with it, though I hadn't done it for a couple of years and refreshed my memory checking my calligraphy book. It's not that hard to learn that one, and it's very dramatic.

When it's printed, it's called a 'font.' In calligraphy a style like half-uncial is called a 'hand' and cursive handwriting is Palmer script, usually done sloppy with a lot of variations. I want to learn to do Copperplate Script and that is hard but it'll be very satisfying when I get it!
