Vanessa, I'm glad you...Hi Casey, Thanks again!<br /><br />Vanessa, I'm glad you caught my humorous side :) It was a a bit of a struggle, but I kept the joy in the learning to sidestep the frustration.<br /><br />Hiya Doug, Yeah, I got a blue ribbon and I"m still glowing!<br />Water based oils? Would they mix with the oils I have already invested in? I'm using Gamlins because they are a local company. I guess I could call my Gamblin friend/rep.<br /><br />Jala, I think that the oils will only increase my artistic knowledge. I will always love my pastels, but still flirting with oils. I guess it'd be hamless even if one is married to pastels. LOL<br /><br />Hi Rahina, Expressionist? Wow, I didn't even see that. Thanks for opening my eyes! I do hope to finish this one off...hopefully in time for the Lavender show this next weekend!Brenda Boylanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14448927740951224325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839646558738602935.post-61729062440668333602011-07-02T01:02:19.563-07:002011-07-02T01:02:19.563-07:00i love how you have laid the colours and made this...i love how you have laid the colours and made this into a wonderful expressionist piece of art. as for the twigs, i thought they were birds flying! they add to he scene! i have the greatest of respect for pastelists (i cannot for the life of me figure them out) and the fact that you have decided to do some oils also is exciting... it will be great to get your insights on this medium.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839646558738602935.post-67665385125611222712011-07-01T02:41:25.959-07:002011-07-01T02:41:25.959-07:00I am always torn between love for painting in oils...I am always torn between love for painting in oils and love for painting in pastels. Lately it's been all pastels due to time constraints. I'm missing the juice of oils though.<br /><br />LOVE the colors in this.Jala Pfaffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01186623108399217523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839646558738602935.post-85556989148729782742011-06-29T07:21:58.582-07:002011-06-29T07:21:58.582-07:00Congrats on your award also!
Nice job on the oil...Congrats on your award also! <br /><br />Nice job on the oil painting. Bet you had to relearn a bunch of things real quick!<br /><br />BTW you should try the water based oil paints, after all you are going to have to replace all that old paint anyway. :-) <br /><br />Easy to clean up and you can still use Murphy Oil Soap to clean those brushes right down to the ferrule.<br /><br />Keep up the good work and keep blogging.Doug Steward Fine Arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17233801470938824590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839646558738602935.post-7798262837350755422011-06-29T06:51:07.600-07:002011-06-29T06:51:07.600-07:00This post really made me smile and laugh because I...This post really made me smile and laugh because I think every artists who's ever tried to rekindle an old love for a medium or start something brand new has gone through this. It can be a lot lot think about and it shows how much you grow with your mediums when you've been working with them for years. I'm sure you will get back into the hang of things. Your underpainting is lovely. I'll pop back in to see it as it progresses.Vanessahttp://vanessaturner.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839646558738602935.post-90555372769996345192011-06-28T21:29:04.020-07:002011-06-28T21:29:04.020-07:00Congratulations on your blue ribbon award!Congratulations on your blue ribbon award!Casey Klahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08020906666248399435noreply@blogger.com
