I thought that being retired, I'd have more time, but I seem busier and busier doing less and less these days. Maybe after the whirl of the holidays I'll get back to posting and painting more. <br /><br />I am currently working on two landscape paintings. One is getting near completion, so I can post that soon. <br />Like you, I've learned that I'm not really an alla prima painter. I like layering. <br /><br />Best wishes in the new year!Virginia Floydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00135585280436374598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3206997581324657237.post-21725207064133451882011-12-29T17:33:37.723-08:002011-12-29T17:33:37.723-08:00Your brushwork on these tangerines are perfect!! ...Your brushwork on these tangerines are perfect!!

Figuring out what you want to paint, truly seeing, finding the pattern... all are things found (and sometimes lost!) with each painting. It's nice to follow someone else on the same journey!Shirley Fachillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00900078558695081657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3206997581324657237.post-33062125557966213062011-12-27T16:39:35.621-08:002011-12-27T16:39:35.621-08:00Love the brush work and depth in this painting!!
