Thanks for your kind words.

I know what you mean about the detail making you crazy. That is one reason I started plein air- it forces some simplification of detail. You ususlly have to be done with a plein air peice in 2 hours, 3 at the most, unless it is overcast. The light changes alot in 3 hours. I've enjoyed it because it has helped me to see color a little differently. It is a great learning tool. Plus, it is really a lot of fun. Especially if you can find a quiet place off the beaten path.

It has taken 40 years to get to where I am today and IT FEELS GREAT. Lots of sacrifice and tenacity. Remember to treat clients with integrity, treat your work like a business and never quit. The perspective in your mural is wonderful - difficult form many artists.
