I love how they work within my art, and I have a<br \/>\nlot of ideas I want to try. Time always seems to be a factor, and it is kind of frustrating at<br \/>\ntimes to be limited by it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m sure you agree. As a mother, there is always something that needs to be done&#8230;.and<br \/>\nof course, there is the laundry. That is a never ending beast.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Textures are something I am really into.

Look at the texture.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>She pointed earnestly at the tree bark.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I admit, it was a nice texture.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Look around. Study textures, you will be amazed at what you find, and I assure you, you will see<br \/>\nthe world in a new way because once you start looking for texture, you see it everywhere.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I created the texture for Be ~ Biblical Wisdom for Children by painting it within Corel Painter.
