This week Ms. Van Wyk painted with the earth colors. She painted wicker over wine bottles. She stressed the "rhythm of application."

Regarding backgrounds she said "to put in the background after the fact is like putting on your bra through your shirt sleeve." I've not seen that done.

I've heard tell of gals taking their bra off through their shirt sleeve, and having it suddenly appear hanging from the rear view mirror. I think that's pretty common.
