I like it even with the space… it will be cool to see what happens with it. Thanks for the peek into your creative process.

I really like the white. At least it's not a stark white. I always have trouble drawing large.
Isabel

What a cute birdie with sunrising tummy π She's great. Love it even with all the white space around.
Louise Gale
Gorgeous, i love this Juliette. The white is all shimmering, its good to get out of the comfort zone and once you start painting large, i know you will just love it….so freeing. π Yes space is good, let all that wonderful yummy stuff in. xxx

I like the white background, rich and beautiful as always. BUT you always surprise me with the next layer and the next. As the boys would say, “Total awesomeness!” π

I love it already, so I can't wait to see the finished piece! I totally understand what you mean with getting stuck with space…sending you lots of positive, creative thoughts. π
Amelia
I love it when a space clears for new things in one's life. I also find that there is an incubation period with art when suddenly you just know how to finish it.
It is getting colder here in the UK and I can feel the changes coming in . . . Look forward to seeing your finishes π

I know what you mean about all the empty space you feel you need to fill in. I think it looks pretty good as it is.
