one of my favorite days. On Saturday I really like to
read and drink my coffee for as long as I can.
So I did. Tomorrow the model's coming. I worked
on her face a bit today, and I may change all of it
tomorrow. The question as always is how far to go,
and when to stop. I may pull it back and make
it more abstract than I originally planned, or go completely
in the opposite direction.
Saturday after the market
The Brick Works Farmers' Market is closed
for the season now. But the memories
are there for next summer.
Theresa Rankin. This is a great way for blog friends
in art to get to know one another better. I am going
crazy with marking now, and trying to finish my
big painting by tomorrow night. But next week when
things settle down a bit, I'm going to tell you all about
it, and tag seven lucky people. Meanwhile thank you
so much Theresa. Theresa has been a powerfully kind
supporter of my work, and that has meant the world
to me. Last summer when I was really hurting with my
broken ankle her kind words lifted my spirits no end.
We need that as artists to keep on being able to see
in our own unique fashion. So thanks to Theresa,
and to all of the kind people who write comments
to me on this blog. I am eternally grateful.
Have a you-are-the-best-people day.
You are just as wonderful as your paintings...and they are all fantastic! I love the fresh table setting...very welcoming! Might even make a great painting!

ReplyDeleteHi Theresa,
