Such a lovely message in your post.
Spread your hands, control your space……
I had a dance teacher that told us to use the length of our arms and hands, legs and feet, which truly offered a feeling of freedom and expression to my movement. I still think of that at times. Don’t be shy.
Your painting is so lovely.

Wow! Fantastic painting, Paivi.
The original version was stunning already but it was fascinating to share your process to revitalize it into a different style and energy. Your creativity and spirit of adventure is truly inspiring. I love the way you combine materials and techniques to create new effects and processes. And as your blog readers/fans/followers we are truly blessed to have you share this so generously. Thank you again for a wonderful blog post. I don’t always write comments but all the ones I read are such a light in my day. Have a lovely weekend yourself. Here in Japan I am a bit further ahead in mine! 🙂

I think you are like Taavi Lehtolainen. You teach with such enthusiasm. I for one have really began to stretch my artistic arms. Thank you.
