Your Blog will be such a great support and companion as I work on prints and paintings. <br /><br />I have a piece of foam core that I use as a pin-up area for potential <br />prints, etc. And, it's like having a conversation with a friend.<br /><br />myrnaMyrna Burkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18222550574332505043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658518583188826551.post-77519341853829796182010-05-17T20:51:05.512-04:002010-05-17T20:51:05.512-04:00what a wonderful grid - full of potential - but I ...what a wonderful grid - full of potential - but I also like it as is, a marker.rappelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03569445602513667186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658518583188826551.post-16598384612534801772010-05-17T07:55:54.093-04:002010-05-17T07:55:54.093-04:00I like the idea of living with these images and st...I like the idea of living with these images and studying them before you begin any work. It's that kind of information that I enjoy discovering. Even though I know I am meditating for ages on garden combos or a drawing idea, I am always curious about how someone else does it. I am with Sophie on that bottom image. It is decorative but not ditzy.<br /><br />I always think of John Deere as using the colors of the Green Bay Packers; but, of course, Deere is much older than the Packers! Both examples of green and yellow are prevalent in Wisconsin.LINDA from EACH LITTLE WORLDhttp://eachlittleworld.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658518583188826551.post-17350984528451468922010-05-17T07:09:50.243-04:002010-05-17T07:09:50.243-04:00wow, thank you Sophie; it's great that you res...wow, thank you Sophie; it's great that you respond so strongly to the images. I really like that last image too, though I worry it will be quite a challenge to paint. It's interesting to think of the change from photo to painting in this context, though of course all I can show here is a photo of a painting.Altoon Sultanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16743040814034732581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658518583188826551.post-86032317720408883692010-05-16T19:32:24.250-04:002010-05-16T19:32:24.250-04:00Can I say "OH MY GOD" without offending ...Can I say "OH MY GOD" without offending Altoon?<br />Overused and trite-sounding.... but not here. These sing out across the miles - a wonderful combination of form and the colours quite unexpected - and yet not!<br />The final image is a knock-out. That one has so much going on and yet is powerfully harmonious with that certain completeness about it. The juxtaposition of line and shape, light and dark, positive and negative, flat colour and patina creates the most unusual rhythms<br />broken by small details such as those cut out clrcles! Its as strong image and it just captured me!Sophie Munnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02797068983613314554noreply@blogger.com
