Thank you, again, for taking me to dinner with your sweet family the last evening. (please pass this "thanks" along to Dan)<br />You're a wonderful artist, and a wonderful person, too! Let's stay in touch.

One of my...Carol, you'll get there, I promise! One of my best friends has this great expression: "you have to paint a lot of bad art before you can paint great art!" Right now I am in a plein aire cityscape class for my MFA, and the professors attitude is that 1. none of our paintings are going to be for gallery viewing and 2. if we like about 25% of them by the end of the class, we will have done a really good job. I agree a lot. In order to learn and break through to the next level, you have to push yourself out of your comfort zone, which results in a lot of really "bad" art. But then once you figure it out and get to that next level. It will be awesome!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15053455683138693222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2345604068284994534.post-40067419059257349582011-02-15T02:26:10.999-08:002011-02-15T02:26:10.999-08:00I too think artists are the best - at the least on...I too think artists are the best - at the least ones I've met through blogging. I really like this landscape, Carol, especially that hint of building in the distance. The colors just remind me of Florida too!

I can just see you biking out somewhere, knocking out a plein air piece and biking back. Think of the economy of combining both art and exercise!:)Kathy Cousarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00953673216135274293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2345604068284994534.post-50753807854000371712011-02-14T14:36:58.499-08:002011-02-14T14:36:58.499-08:00Carol, You did a wonderful job on this!

There are some lovely things about this painting. I particularly like the pale magenta just beneath the tree line--it really gives a feeling of distance and the houses in the upper left go even further back. You really did give a feeling of distance and depth to the painting.Kathryn Townsendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12538880525410451147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2345604068284994534.post-5756401535800660702011-02-14T09:43:00.072-08:002011-02-14T09:43:00.072-08:00Oh, I feel your pain about plein air.

You might want to look at Elizabeth Tolley's Oil Painter's Solution Book, Landscapes. Think you will find lots of valuable information in the material. Glad you had a good, even though cold, week in Florida, nice marsh painting from your trip!Ann Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08648000587565505764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2345604068284994534.post-69167617015405965552011-02-14T09:35:38.886-08:002011-02-14T09:35:38.886-08:00I agree, artists are just the best!
