    Hi Laura, thank you for friend request!!  I am looking at your painting go by and I think you have a very good handle on color!!!  I am seeing some real good paintings!!  Those marsh paintings are excellent with vibrant color! ...Your swan painting, sea gull, seascapes ..all very good color.  COMPOSITION and VALUE do all the work ..but COLOR gets the credit ..an old saw that says composition and value are the most important thing!

    Hi Laura, really meant it - you are coming along so well.   Brave move re the work situation, wish you lots of happiness and success with your art.  That last one of the wave was really good, just needed the softness of the right hill done.  Do wish you well.

    Thank you for liking my Painting on the Edge, Laura! My husband doesn't like it and it makes me feel happier that you do : ) Happy Valentine's Day!!!

  • Roena King

    I know, I thought we were already on each other's friends list.  LOL  What I wanted to ask you, since I think you have taken more of RR workshops than I have.  Do you remember which one it was where he mixed 2 piles of gray to use in his mixes for the painting?  I think he mixed one cool gray and one warm gray.  Hugs, Roena

  • Roena King

    Perfect...........I have the DVD on the sunsets.  I will go review.  I want to mix and tube up some premixed grays to use often.  I am going to do a en plein air where we are now due to the amazing colorful scenes.  So inspired!  smile  I saw where you and Stu did a painting of a cliff and ocean together.  How fun is that!  Your painting was pretty.  I enjoyed reading Michael's comment about leading the eye into the pic.  HUM  going to have to do some creative moving around for my place to work.  Glad I read that.  Thanks again for the quick reply.

  • Stuart J. Gourlay

    Thanks Laura!!  I'm having a real fun time here in Cedarburg!  They asked me to do the TV interview to help promote the event and it was really fun.  I have painted a lot of paintings and met some more fabulous artists that I had not met before.  I'm going to finish the painting that I started during the TV interview yesterday, go paint a Farmers' Market in a little town called Theinsville, finish up a couple of afternoon paintings from the other day and then go do a nocturne of a really funky restaurant here in Cedarburg.  This is just plain fun!!!
