I gotta tell ya, I came back yesterday to respond to your statements, and couldn't get in! This, and other threads had a warning at the bottom saying I didn't have enough ..... [I forget the word] to post here, and a warning at the top to fix my email though I had not done anything to it. I...

I don't do "New Year Promises" so haven't set any goals. I hope to keep at it, whatever "IT" is. Though I have used mainly oil paint without solvents for years, I have also played with charcoal, graphite, watercolor, and gouache. I hope to continue with them. The last few days I used charcoal...

Very nice, Balaji.

I didn't buy it, it was given me for a Christmas gift. Does that still count? Art dice! Which was timely, as I had complained to myself recently, "I think my muse is all used up..."

Nice!

I like this--it is so much a naive piece! Yes, illustration, kid's book, etc, including even calendar art! Really nice!

Nice piece!

I was given a large set of wc--maybe 48 colors--about 8 years ago. Almost all colors had been squeezed into little plastic containers by the previous owner and of course dried out. Even the paints in the tubes have mostly dried. I am cutting needed paint from the dry tubes, I haven't seen any...

Splendid! It looks cold!

I do. Over the recent few years most of my work has been on paper, even oils. I keep most of it in a small tub under my desk. Some, I keep to remind myself of events or ways I handled a certain subject. I do go through it at times. I did a few days ago because a few of us at Art Group were...

This is beautiful, from the wonderful sky to the understated buildings, to the lush enclosed garden with it's welcoming archway.

Very nice, and is a good example for me. Yesterday I read an old tutorial regarding dots and washes. your painting incorporated the mark making in that tutorial.

This is wonderful, and for me, so timely. Yesterday I read an old tutorial regarding dots and washes. Unfortunately most of the pictures are gone from it, but your painting is a perfect example of what the tutor was "tooting"! So many thanks. Yours is a wonderful piece.

Successful--really nice.

I've been working with watercolor for the last several months to learn about it, but this first floral started a longing for my oils. SO, after I do some paperwork, add color to two WCs, I'll see about scraping off my glass palette and starting an oil. Those are beauties, Wayne.

Jo, such a nice piece! Those reflections, those leaves, your colors are wonderful.

The flowers are wonderful! I like the softer BG and the scarf in the second.

Wonderful hatching. I especially like it on the animals.

Hi, Kay, thanks for stopping in, and for your supportive comments. I'm not layering--oops-- except for that dark blue background--I did add a bit of white to it. I think I may have a way to handle the vase now. Yes, I think I like the hot press paper, too. I have a lot, and it will get used...

Thanks All, I appreciate the comments. I agree with Arty about the blue background. I'm so glad this is study! From the large size, to the hot pressed paper, to lifting and washes, and whatever else comes along. I've changed that dark blue background which I wasn't happy with, and don't know...
