I really enjoyed looking at Woodward's work - thanks for the pointer. I think my favourite is the snowy birches (http://keslerwoodward.typepad.com/.shared/image.html?/photos/uncategorized/snow_on_the_hillside_pitn.jpg). But I'm a sucker for careful balancing of white, black and beige/pink/ochre shades.

"In trade": I was very absorbed by Jan Haag's embroidery (http://janhaag.com/NP13Kala.html) for a while (I remember the pictures as showing more detail than they do now).
