Not only do I learn from you and enjoy watching as you create . . . sometimes I put on my headphones, close my eyes, and melt in the music you have selected. Thank you for everything. df

I really like this print. It is so atmospheric. It is deceptively simple and yet so much thought went into making this. Beautiful.

[@HeartstoneArt]

Thank you!

This is one of the best landscape painting l've seen, all done with printing. Thank you ❤

[@HeartstoneArt]

Thank you

This is masterly work, I've been looking for someone who produces more painterly effects with a gel plate (a lot of stuff out there all looks the same!). Thank you so much for sharing.

[@HeartstoneArt]

I love your work, so beautiful. It looks like you don’t let the layers dry before adding the next one. Is that so?

[@HeartstoneArt]

Correct. The wet surface allows the paint to interact with the layer below for some more interesting results.
