I really enjoy your work richard. You truly are a great inspiration for me. Just wish i had the scenery that you have in your part of the world to paint. The light just seems amazing. Keep up the good work.<br />
All the best David

One should never try to exactly imitate a photograph with paint. Photographs LIE! I just finished a portrait of a bride and groom. It was started from a professional photograph taken outdoors at midday. When the bride came for a setting, I immediately saw the changes I'd have to make. The bright light had washed out many of the facial shadows - like the one between the lower lip and chin. Although my rendition was true to the photo it was not a good likeness of the subject. I put in the shadows…

I put in the shadows where needed and obtained a TRUE likeness and everyone was happy. One must use "artistic license" in rendering a painting - just the way Richard did it - do a little plastic surgery on the landscape - take out all the warts and wrinkles. Happy painting everyone.

If I could end up with art work like that with as you say such explosion of colour I would be slinging paint continually. Love it Richard. Have just returned from Wanaka and parts south with some truley beautiful winter studies in my camera. Can't wait to have a paint. Must be careful to leave that photgraphic detail out though.Such a trap for me.

Well, that's one way to do it! I've used sponges, knife, and etc. but so far I haven't flung paint at the canvas. Years ago one of my inntructors saw me struggling with the colors of a horizon sunset; he ran his forefinger through the red, yellow and purple on my palette and with one stroke created a beautiful sunset. It's important to throw caution to the wind occasionally. I'm glad you had fun. The painting is great.
