Hey Brian, wow its great seeing you on here! The Agora show was wonderful, and I love your paintings. Your use of color in landscapes really evoke different emotions that go way beyond painting scenery. I'm happy to hear you can relate to my story, and I'm with you - not putting that brush down again! Its great we can stay in touch now on here, take care.<br />

Hi Ron. I know your story only too well. I have lived it for many years, giving up my art for many years. Life sometimes gets in the way and I had commitments and priorities that didn't allow much time for that which I was most passionate about. I recently had the privilege to meet you at the gallery opening Jan. 14. I was the artist exhibiting next to you. Unfortunately we didn't have much time to talk though I would have liked to very much. It's never too late and I realized that a couple of…
Hi Ron. I know your story only too well. I have lived it for many years, giving up my art for many years. Life sometimes gets in the way and I had commitments and priorities that didn't allow much time for that which I was most passionate about. I recently had the privilege to meet you at the gallery opening Jan. 14. I was the artist exhibiting next to you. Unfortunately we didn't have much time to talk though I would have liked to very much. It's never too late and I realized that a couple of years ago when I picked up my brushes again and have to say I have never been happier. I'll never set them down again. I'm new here and still trying to navigate the site and have yet to upload my work. I have to say that it was pleasure viewing your work. You are a very talented artist.

Thank you Christine; even though I work from photographs, I keep in mind that they are just reference for the painting and I don't look to bind myself to it's colors or 'rules'.

Hi,<br />
I haven't been on this site in a while and I just decided to click on this today. Your work is astounding!<br />
Your use of color and light is amazing. Whatever your challenges have been show in the tension in your paintings especially the last one. It is hard to believe that these are from photographs!<br />
Best to you!<br />
Chris

Thats definitely one of the things I want to convey here is that we all have our struggles to bear, its one of the common traits of an artist. We have to look to persevere through them to harvest those rewards; and I know at times hard, but not feel that 'rain cloud' is only and always over you. Thanks Katharine, I really appreciate the insight.

Your art as with your words denote much love and caring. The "journey" you describe is one that I think most of us travel but with different roads and bridges and diversions along the way. But each is important for it gives us the ingredients for our work. I admire your art for the soul and beauty that shows though. Pathways are not easy and often show us things we would rather not have to face but for some reason it makes the outcome so much more rewarding. I hope that your rewards are…

Thanks Lisa and Taffie; I mainly work from photos due to my schedule but I would imagine plein air would push the life in a painting even more. One of the things I learned about painting portraits is that everything is a shape affected by light. Try not to feel overwhelmed by the likeness, break the object down to it's value and shape and observe how the light affects it. I always think of that line from the Matrix movie (I know cheesy, but so true) when the boy says that the real truth about…
