Comment by Jessica Futerman on March 14, 2014 at 7:50: Thank you Sharon! Well, I grew up with snowstorms & I think I prefer sandstorms! Not so cold & much easier to clear up sand than snow! But we don't get really severe ones like you may be picturing - usually just poor visibility, often accompanied by high winds & high temperatures. But once in a while, the sky turns yellowish when there is a lot of sand in the air and that is an interesting sight!

Comment by Sharon Casavant on March 14, 2014 at 2:14: Very nice Jessica! Wow, don't know if I would rather have a sandstorm or snowstorm!

Comment by Jessica Futerman on March 10, 2014 at 3:42: That sounds intriguing, Laura! There are still a few pieces missing on this project, so keep an eye on it!

Comment by Laura Xu on March 9, 2014 at 16:52: I will be in next group project for sure. But I decided start myown project by myown for this one. You will see it later.

Comment by Jessica Futerman on March 9, 2014 at 11:08: Thank you very much, Laura - I still hope you'll be able to participate too!

Comment by Laura Xu on March 9, 2014 at 7:10: This is really beautiful Jessica! I am happy for you to be part of the project.

Comment by Jessica Futerman on March 6, 2014 at 23:52: I do have a better photo of this now but think I'll just leave this one, as it's already been added to the composite. We'd all probably like to do a bit of tweaking once we've seen how they fit together, but there'd never be an end to it if we did that! So maybe I'll finally take my palette out of the freezer & start another painting!!!

Comment by Jessica Futerman on March 5, 2014 at 4:47: Thank you very much, Dor! When I first saw this slice, I thought it might be beyond my capabilities! So I'm glad it came out o.k.! Hope you still get a chance to paint a slice yourself!

Comment by Dorian Aronson on March 5, 2014 at 4:03: Excellent! :-) So happy for you!

Comment by Jessica Futerman on March 5, 2014 at 1:01: Silvana - thanks very much - I was so excited to get a slice! Sometime I'll post a photo of a sharav, which is what we call this type of weather - this time, there's not so much sand as we get sometimes, but the sky is still not clear. A sharav can last for about 5 days & sometimes we need to brush a light layer of sand off our car windshield as everything gets coated with it outside! Will see about taking another photo when it clears up, though Richard has already put this slice up - the brightest area could do with toning down a bit, though it might just be the photo. I actually put my palette in the freezer for the first time (in a plastic bag) to keep the colour mixtures in case it needs tweaking! Learned a lot doing this project!
