How boring would the art world be if that were the case! <br /><br />Kehoe is a great resource, and Stuart Shils has a tremendous amount of insight to offer. Are you familiar with http://paintingperceptions.com/ ? I'm helping Larry organize a Stuart Shils workshop here in San Diego at the end of April, and am really looking forward to that time with him. Here's a link to info on that workshop: http://paintingperceptions.com/3-day-outdoor-masterclass-intensive-with-stuart-shils<br /><br />You're doing great work here, asking all the right questions. And according to Duane Keiser, that is what the journey is all about.kathrynlawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06792831717839627852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3206997581324657237.post-38775352763123126432011-01-27T07:53:23.769-08:002011-01-27T07:53:23.769-08:00Both of these painting are wonderful!

From there, how we make our marks, whether we want to blend the paint into refined realism, or create a more abstracted version of what we see, is what makes the painting ours. It's our signature. In response to your thoughts on my post Lorraine, I think your mark making is gorgeous and lively and and the thing that makes your paintings unique. Keep making those marks and beautiful edges. The composition or viewpoint can be experimented with while maintaining your style. Keep them coming!claire christinelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16804783229167368897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3206997581324657237.post-38564265767091342082011-01-25T12:05:20.922-08:002011-01-25T12:05:20.922-08:00I like the way the tea tag and string play off the...I like the way the tea tag and string play off the leaning fruit.

Wish I had the answer for you. Maybe we must paint what we see and then paint what we WANT to see, to enhance the scene and take it a level higher????Carol Schiff Daily Paintinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03992811279109092289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3206997581324657237.post-42212717321629664532011-01-25T02:36:03.805-08:002011-01-25T02:36:03.805-08:00They're great paintings.

I think the brushwork, technique and color make the objects stand out, but make it a stronger painting, and don't detract from the painting as a whole.Caladhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07659734248759757290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3206997581324657237.post-3005708087794162942011-01-24T13:45:27.604-08:002011-01-24T13:45:27.604-08:00terrific mug, Lorraine, this red is fabulous!terrific mug, Lorraine, this red is fabulous!SYLVIANEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02540994470273960143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3206997581324657237.post-25134050582304979082011-01-24T11:05:25.890-08:002011-01-24T11:05:25.890-08:00Bonjour Lorraine,
