I love that when I post WIPs on my blog, I can look at them objectively. Maybe I should leave it and start another painting from this one?neetzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08328078244870157157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6912024698482592423.post-78920645537350736272009-03-23T08:21:00.000-07:002009-03-23T08:21:00.000-07:00Hi there,I love this painting as is.

Kind of has a Cezanne fill to me. Still, I am interested to see what you do with this piece. I never know when to stop or keep going when I create something. <BR/>P.S. Thank you for stopping by my blog and the wonderful comment you made. Your words gave me a whole different insight to my image, in a good way. <BR/>Bevbutterfly womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09252796466842620135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6912024698482592423.post-63178150259602618462009-03-22T18:36:00.000-07:002009-03-22T18:36:00.000-07:00Peggy,Thanks so much.

I had a teacher who once told me that a painting should potentially be "finished" at an early stage.neetzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08328078244870157157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6912024698482592423.post-35123462752862329102009-03-22T13:08:00.000-07:002009-03-22T13:08:00.000-07:00I know pathetically little about art; all I need t...I know pathetically little about art; all I need to know, though, is what I like, and I really like this painting! I have a great spot in my office I'd hang it!

Now you can see the way my warped mind works Wahaha!<BR/><BR/>Jeannette St.G,<BR/><BR/>I wrote a "personal narrative" of my first grade story for a class once. In it I stated that's why I became a teacher. I relate to all the "bad" kids.

I'd like to see more of your paintings in early stages as they give a deeper appreciation of the finished work.divehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12938980502783421961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6912024698482592423.post-54907260257776464422009-03-17T18:35:00.000-07:002009-03-17T18:35:00.000-07:00Thanks Shaz,I liked it when I first painted it out...Thanks Shaz,<BR/><BR/>I liked it when I first painted it outside. I screwed it up a bit during that strange creative process that only happens in my shed. (Depending on the music playing, my mood, etc.) I thought I ruined it, but now I think it has possibilities.neetzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08328078244870157157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6912024698482592423.post-53589371115057858692009-03-16T18:51:00.000-07:002009-03-16T18:51:00.000-07:00Neetz - it may not be finished in your eyes but I ...Neetz - it may not be finished in your eyes but I would hang it up as is.

I'm a real tree hugger. What can I say? <BR/><BR/>Winifred,<BR/>Thanks. I'm a tree hugger and a color freak! Fall is my favorite time to paint colors. The sky around here is very blue or very dramatic. (It seems that it has been gray now for months). It was fun to go reminisce while painting. I tend to get a little carried away with color. That's probably why I'm still painting fall subjects.neetzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08328078244870157157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6912024698482592423.post-4200146108432442952009-03-16T11:06:00.000-07:002009-03-16T11:06:00.000-07:00I love these colours.

If you don't know of them, they were seven Canadian artists in the early 20th century who painted in and around Algonquin Park in Northern Ontario. A few of them were particularly focused on trees and rocky shores. Actually, I think I like yours better - better use of colour. So there!<BR/><BR/>KatKat Mortensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877694888419628533noreply@blogger.com
