I only meant rehetorically 'what r u discoverin' as I hazarded a reply to that myself ... ho hum...yes yr recent landscapes are paired down to the minimum & the emphasise on the skies makes them difficult to pin down to a particular space (tho skies do indeed have their unique feel which does depend on latititude/longitude) ... <br /><br />i feel more than essentials yr landscapes are rich in feeling & suggestion... landscape as states of mind rather than geographical... ie what the artist brings becomes more important than the place itself.<br /><br />be well, create well.Adam Copehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00597553517593344369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2569842595006112796.post-73844516567781109152011-05-23T21:49:44.462-04:002011-05-23T21:49:44.462-04:00Hi Takeyce!

Thank you about the painting.<br /><br />Hi SAm!<br />Stories telling stories, i like that!<br /><br />Hi NJ!<br />I like the way you describe the painting. I am happy it makes you want to sit back and contemplate. It works then.<br />Thanks about the painting I posted before this. I am loving working with how the temperature of the sky changes. <br />Thanks for your input!<br /><br />Thanks Casey. Moodiness...good.<br /><br />Hi Maggie,<br />Yes, I have been freed! I will look for that Kitty Wallis issue of PJ. Thanks.<br /><br />Hi Adam,<br />I hear what you say.You ask what I am discovering??? Maybe that there is so much in my head and heart that my plein air inspiration is best used as a simple springboard, no more. Don't be tempted to put more in. Essence, no more. That's it! Thanks!<br />PS I'll drop my to see your river soon!loriann signorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16738796573576452724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2569842595006112796.post-89548664761966534652011-05-23T06:37:45.394-04:002011-05-23T06:37:45.394-04:00:-)

Fascinating! <br />I am realizing more and more, that it (creating a painting) is as much about what we take off as we put on. Kitty Wallis talked about this very concept in an article for the Pastel Journal quite some years back (2004 or 2005?) and I didn’t really ‘get it’ at the time, but understand it more now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2569842595006112796.post-12718171384781083732011-05-21T20:41:33.774-04:002011-05-21T20:41:33.774-04:00The moodiness, and the thinking quality.

I want to take a cup of hot tea , sit and contemplate this scene<br />Regarding yesterdays 10/23-the feeling of open space in a suburban area .I liked how you handled the color/temperature transitions in this one. The top of this painting has a wonderful gestural quality and the interaction of color w/that deep blue ! The simplicity and deep color of the bottom section of the painting which allows the sky to dominate. I enjoyed both of these paintings very much.<br /><br /> NJ ARt 73Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2569842595006112796.post-51235078102821237262011-05-20T19:14:02.195-04:002011-05-20T19:14:02.195-04:00I see reflections of reflections of reflections.
