your email box is full and I will have to respond to your questions later. I knew my owl painting wasnt quite right and have reworked it, will write more later when I have time and maybe you can empty your mail!

Hi Sue.. I havent been as active on the site and its good to hear from you. I have wondered if the owl painting is any good, I kind of did it for fun over the weekend and the owl is collaged on, not sure if its a favorite for me because as you pointed out, the paint is heavy. The other painting you commented on was done at an art auction last night and I had to start and finish it in 2 hrs! I spattered color at the bottom, thats the last stage of painting for me. I didnt use any salt but I did let water drip to create water marks. I did use alot of wash colors because every time I dried the paint, it lighted up about 2 shades and with watercolor sometimes you really have to build with washes.

Maybe I will change the owl painting tomorrow.. its still too new to be officially done!

Love your soul of a twig eater!

Thanks for your comments on my Teton window.

Hi, and thanks for your comment!  "The World" was made for my son and new daughter in law who were just married in New Zealand in February...so, in total, it is 36" x 36", but it's in three pieces.  The idea being that in 20 years, maybe a huge "mother in law" painting might be burdensome, and that the 3 pieces might be hung separately if so desired.

So, it's their world....the mountains of North Carolina merged with "down under" coral reef....and collaged in is tons of stuff, all representing their families.....from a sister's tutu netting (in the mountains) to a great grandmother's piano music (one of the fish).  Their hands are collaged into the bottom of the sea....and a poem that he wrote her is written into the top of the sky.

It was a great work of love.

And, I've greatly enjoyed looking at your page, all the gorgeous horses, my favorites, and the whimsical trees.  I'd ask you to be my "friend", but I don't know how!

Cheers,

Susan

Thanks!  I'm glad you liked my stained glass of the Grand Tetons.  It is 36" in diameter and I made it for our home, so it is not for sale.  Your comments are greatly appreciated and you are very kind.

Your work is amazing.  I love the one of the moose in the tree trunks.  Beautiful.

Thank you again.  Kathleen Krucoff 

Hello, I am terrible at naming my photos. Everyone on here always has the best titles for all of their work, I just call all of mine untitled...pretty lame.

Ive just recently bought a new camera, so Ive been going pretty crazy with it. The picture you asked about is an old retired boat sitting at the marina, which Im having the best time exploring. All of my new pictures have actually been taken at the same marina, including the car. What fun!! Hope to see more of your work soon...
