On another note, today I celebrate 5 years of blogging and 1195 posts. As I enter my 6th year I confess that I have learned more from my 4 years of daily plein air painting, than I learned in my entire art school education- BFA and MFA. Year five was more about using that experience and transferring it to memory painting. What will come next???? Come on back for year 6 to find out.
If I could give one bit of advice to anyone wanting to improve and find themselves it would be to, without fail, paint outdoors everyday. Don't wait for that silly thing called inspiration. She rarely comes knocking. When you ALWAYS create she WILL find you. Time and time again.
Onward.

Loriann, your work inspires me, your words inspire me ... thank you! Congratulations and keep up the beautiful work!
Another great lesson. You continue to be as generous as you were when I first sent you a comment 3 years ago, and I've been a fan ever since then. I learn so much from all of your honest exploration and beautiful work. Thanks!
Thanks Liz! Your poetry blog is a wonderful thing.

Has it been 3 years Sam? Wow! Thanks for all your support through the years. i enjoy ready your blog as well!
Many congratulations on five years. I know I visited here many years ago, and was struck by the free and abstract quality of your work. You are an outstanding individual and artist, Loriann.
Hi Casey! Thank you so much for your very kind words!We have known each other for a long time now and I must say I have had the pleasure of meeting you in La Conner. I will never forget that time... remember when you discovered the bear tracks in the place i lost my keys? and was locked out of my home for the night!
We move forward to new adventures. till later, L
Hi Loriann
Congrats on the five years that you have shown exceptional work to us all and here's hoping that we can all share your passion for many years to come.
It is in the "doing", that provides us with our own journey of discovery.
