I'm bogged down in detail work on the painting I'm currently working on. I'm looking forward to completing it so I can concentrate on loose work afterwards. Looking forward to seeing how your latest landscape comes out (using the scratch off with the opposite end of the paint brush).

Thank you for your comment on my collage.  In recent years, I have grown to really love Beethoven and often paint with his music in the back ground, so the collage is all about what I feel he must have felt.  I look forward to seeing more of your work.

Thanks - I've gotten a few compliments on "Modern". When I first did it I wasn't that thrilled with it, but now I really like it. It was one of those paintings where I just let the brush go and was loose throughout the painting and didn't think much about what I was doing. I wish they could all be like that. Those are types of paintings I like the most...like yours - you can really tell that your brush was doing most of the work. Are those plein air that you do? I still have yet to do any plein air painting.

Funny you like the apples - that one was art by accident. I was trying to do a cityscape mostly in metallics and it wasn't working at all, so in frustration I started blending all the paint together on the canvas and somehow those apples appeared. The white is the canvas - I used the opposite end of the paintbrush to lift out the paint which was still wet. My paintings are acrylics.

Love how you break down landscape into simple strokes, shapes and colors. Your work has a very free flowing title to it. Nice!

I hope someday you paint  one  and show it to me. Nice talking to you! see you soon.
