!!!! It's almost seamless. Your eye for color is like right on. And of course your sense of touch is terrific. Good going. Have you tried selling these at galleries yet?

No she's def picked up. Her color sense has gained all kinds of dimension, and she's got this wonderful sense of touch that comes out in things like the way she handles leaves, tree branches and so forth. The painting before this had sun coming through a tree and it almost made you squint, the way she handled the light. I'm hoping she sells these things, it'd be a nice move.

Hahaha it feels weird to see my art discussed like this. Thanks! And yea if you see my other comments on this thread, I do indeed sell. It’s actually been my full time career for several years now!

Also I’m glad ya’ll think this one turned out ok. I nearly threw it in frustration about halfway through. The wind changes both the color and the texture of the water and cloud cover vs Sun drastically changes the way the light reads. And both were fluctuating about every ten seconds throughout. Def not my most ‘peaceful’ plein air outing.

That's the big challenge with landscape painting right on the spot. Everything changes constantly. The Impressionists dealt with the same thing. I haven't worked that way in a long time, and I may have to start again, inspired by what you're doing.

Part of it for me will be 'just getting started,' as in trying not to be too picky about a scene before starting. Out on the Cape I've seen painters a lot of times just sort of in front of anything, and the scene doesn't look super perfect -- and I think it's likely because if I wait for the too perfect I'll never find it, just talk myself out of starting. fwiw. Any advice?

Anyway thanks for the inspiration.

I actually have my own gallery on my property and primarily sell online. I will be doing an open gallery next weekend, and I’ll be updating my website and putting all my newest stuff up online as well! heirandspacedesign.com

Here’s the info about my open gallery! :-)
