In fairness to my husband, who is VERY supportive of my work, I should point out that I asked a loaded question and also that the concerns about not crossing the line into hokiness were mine. I think Eden's comment about the "two Floridas" is so true and something I certainly have had on my mind as I prepare for this show. But, you've all given me renewed confidence and I appreciate that more than I can say. As I was working in the studio today, I kept thinking about SmartArtdog's description- "lusciously swampy". I just love that!

The plastic version is just as much a part of the real character of the place as the beautiful landscape. Its an interesting challenge to try to capture both.Eden Compton Studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08408901151410400904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2838632489934306281.post-10344042473345509422010-01-14T20:05:37.609-06:002010-01-14T20:05:37.609-06:00Definitely not hockey.
