I am glad that you can read into this piece your thoughts and time of year.<BR/><BR/> "Isn't the coming of spring nice?"<BR/><BR/>Yes, you are right. Got to love it ! Spring fills us with new hope and if we are plein air painters, with it comes the inspiration to be 'out there'.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for dropping in and commenting, Jack. <BR/>My apologizes to you for taking so long in getting back to you.<BR/><BR/>Take care.Frank A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01277367319900086945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16786589.post-71740581610445900012008-04-14T14:47:00.000-04:002008-04-14T14:47:00.000-04:00Frank--love the sketch--very energetic and fresh. ...Frank--love the sketch--very energetic and fresh. Nice palette(s) too. Isn't the coming of spring nice? Hope it comes soon. Here in Maine we take a couple of steps forward and 1.9 back. But your piece reminds of where we are and that, even so, we can find inspiration.Jack Riddlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16532608411801891129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16786589.post-35249246320355481492008-04-14T13:09:00.000-04:002008-04-14T13:09:00.000-04:00...Yup !.."the dark days before spring,"..like pur......Yup !.."the dark days before spring,"..like purgatory, or hurry up and wait. ..:-) weather wise, good paintng days are on the way.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the comment, Rob.

What's to lose, right ?<BR/><BR/>I agree with you about the "sleet marks". They make a great painting even better. I'll check out the web site . Looking forward to it.<BR/><BR/>Take care.Frank A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01277367319900086945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16786589.post-54118215672345083032008-04-11T17:39:00.000-04:002008-04-11T17:39:00.000-04:00Hi Martin.I feel luckey to have anything happen in...Hi Martin.<BR/>I feel luckey to have anything happen in this piece. It started as a quick ref. with a little more sorting as I neared what I thought would be of use in a larger piece. I kind of like it as it stands.<BR/>Thanks for your kean eye remarks.<BR/>Things are finally warming up here.<BR/>Take care..Frank A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01277367319900086945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16786589.post-65773854855078234092008-04-11T05:47:00.000-04:002008-04-11T05:47:00.000-04:00Hello Frank.

I'll try to do better this time.<BR/><BR/>The sense of enjoyment really comes across in the first painting. I hope you won't feel any less of it because it is just a study. I think it stands in its own right as a finished painting. I will look forward to seeing the larger version, if you post it here, and I hope you can keep the same fresh feeling.<BR/>The second painting looks nice to me. Yes, I have the same problem. I have learned to never scrap anything until I have left it for a while. I often see it differently when I come back to it later.<BR/>Thanks for the link and I have put one on my blog for you, if that's OK. Also, I have been working on rebuilding my website and the new version is now on-line.Keith Tilleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04114006831583939493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16786589.post-88315278189590119042008-04-11T05:37:00.000-04:002008-04-11T05:37:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Keith Tilleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04114006831583939493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16786589.post-82721095308699734062008-04-10T16:08:00.000-04:002008-04-10T16:08:00.000-04:00Hi Frank,I am impressed by the warm color harmony ...Hi Frank,<BR/>I am impressed by the warm color harmony in the first piece, a wonderful balance between the light blues and the dark greens.Papierfliegerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08006399662058810780noreply@blogger.com
