Thank you Richard for your lovely comment on my Underwater plants.

Have a good day

Love Anja

Thank you so much for your kind comment on my painting, Memories of Fall.  I appreciate it very much. 

You have a beautiful gallery. 

For my studio work I will use only linen ...double primed.  For plein air work, I will use linen glued to birch panels OR ..I will  use birch panels that have been primed with 2 or 3 coats of oil primer.  Stu has a nice technique for preparing gessoed boards that I have tried ..really works good.  BTW, there is nothing wrong with cotton ..so long as it is of high quality ..I have just got used to the "feel" of the linen.  Fredrix and Utrect have a very good professional quality cotton canvas of various weights...both oil primed and acrylic primed ...the acrylic primer is less expensive.

Michael, thanks for the friend invite....I look forward to seeing all of your new posts!  

Thank you for your comments on my painting.  No, I have only done acrylic.  The oils seem intimidating to me with all of the mixing and specific proportions.  The smell of off putting to me, but I've read that they have less offensive product now. Have a good one!

Michael,  I just scrolled through your work and I am really enjoying all of them!  I could have left comments on all!  I have always been intrigued by water color; you certainly do a wonderful job.  You have an ability to capture the detail...as in the lovely white rose and also the vastness of a beautiful landscape...bravo!

......and thanks for the friends request very happy to accept.:-}}

Thank you for liking  my paintings Richard..:-}}

Good, Richard. Just found out it is plein air. A couple months ago I would have been very excited about that. Temperature dropping and snow is on it's way, so not so excited...getting old! However, we will all find a way.
