Thanks again for looking at my work. As you can see, not all my sketches are totally worked up before I start the painting, but you can see where the idea is headed.
I have made an album - "From this to That", with a few more sketches and finished paintings.
Keep up the good work on your gum leaves. BTW, do you dry them first? Or fresh?

At 15:25 on November 23, 2010, Gail Runciman-Nicholls said…: Hi Jeff, Haven't figured out how to put pictures straight into an album, without going thru' My Pictures first. Thought I'd give you a sample of Journal to painting.

Re: studio works from studies. Yes I have Jeff. Perhaps I should make a separate Album and put them together. Maybe today's project! Thanks for asking. :-))

Sorry - I didn't see that you had also commented in "Rememberance Day".
Thank you for the comment - much appreciated. :-))

Thank you so much for your comment on "Drinking outside the square". Amazing what being in a rut and pondering on how to get out of it, can cause the mind to think about when you keep telling yourself to - think outside the square! :-))

Look for the painting landscape - something like Old Town Qubeck and then the ballerina. Really nice guy....goes by Paul. He also did the entire painting of the landscape in WC first! Sure willing to work hard for the tallented end result! Let me know what you think of all this. Ro OH, he is really good to give the WIP so you can see the steps taken.

I did a plien aire (imagine that when I remembered I used to do plien aire in WC!) of a scene and I did not like it at all........had lots of green -- strange, I dont like green! A landscape artist that does not like green. he he.......anyway, because I hated the pic and was not proud of it, I almost did not put it in the show. It sold first! That was way back in the late 70's or early 80's so I dont remember anything about pricing but the point is put everything in a show that you have. My highest price painting that I ever sold was the Cowboy (just posted it not long ago) that the Bank in Iraan bought for $500 in 1978. Traveling the way we do and not wanting to bother with the "traveling art shows" I may never sell art. I keep thinking of how I might try something someday, but I am still only thinking slightly. Do you have any desire to paint similar to Delmus? I have another friend who has tried his method of Old Town Qubec - a landscape - and he is working on a dancer at the moment. If you are interested in seeing other subjects beside flowers and still lifes, I can send you a link. Pauls' work is the quality of the old masters. Let me know if you want the links. Ro
