After living with my painting since 2016 I have retrieved the original sketches from a photograph of the canvas before painting commenced. It did take considerable work to make them presentable but now you can use them to treat in your own style and medium. Each of the 12 “conversation” designs composing the painting is offered in outline form below.
- color them with pencils, markers, pastels, crayons, or whatever
- use them as the basis for a mosaic, collage, or stained glass
- transfer them to fabric for a needlepoint, or quilt square
- transfer them to canvas and paint it your way
The possibilities are countless in your imagination.
Browse all 12 sketches and pick your favorites. Watch for a book coming soon with all 12 sketches and commentary on the meaning of the painting.

Limits
Selling your version or posting it on any print-on-demand art platform is prohibited. Sorry, but I hope it will give you practice and challenge you to make your own originals. Print-on-demand sites have ways of catching copycats and piracy attempts, and our collaboration would look like that. Let’s avoid that kind of trouble and have fun making new stuff!
