A blessing so small as paper and pen. You have done a great job! I don't know styles, I think I should visit workshop. Creativity abounds!
Sincerely,
Regina

Logan, thank you very much.  This is a natural extension to the "TWENTY OR LESS" series, and I still find the minimalism a liberating challenge.  I'm REALLY starting to appreciate the word "simple", lately.

Titia -- glad you enjoyed and thank you for the thumbs up...  more will be on their way.

Thank you, Sandra -- this is fun!

Ron -- just exploring "new" territory...  thanks for the encouragement.

Melissa:  thank you, kindly.  Well -- I wrote one once way back in high school, if that counts, but this is the first on this site and in quite the while.  Glad you liked.

Regina, sometimes it's very gratifying to wander outside of one's patterns and absorb new vistas -- this is just a tiny example of doing so, and may I say, I'm enjoying the stroll?  Thanks for the read and reply.

Mark,
    You seem to find perfection in each new venue you explore.  Enjoyed very much..

Elise -- perfection?  Nah...  but:  I try to do well in all my pursuits.  Glad you enjoyed and thanks for the high compliment.

Krista:  Yup.  I like its simplicity and minimalism -- much faster and easier to express and leave wide open spaces for interpretation than with my traditional styles...  Sometimes less is ALL you "need"...  Thanks for the nice response.
