I did find your comment at the Marketing Group. Thanks for it. I'll have to give it some thought. It's sort of like it's working in slow motion. Barbara

Hi Sandy, Thank you again for your kind comments on my painting, 'Promise of the Light'. I'd be happy to answer your questions about my work.

My paintings are inspired by inner experiences and my fascination with light. I usually begin with quite a few thumbnail sketches to develop the concept for the piece to come. Then once I have both a painterly concept and subject, I refine the composition with Dynamic Symmetry until I'm basically happy with everything. I take a ton of photos of everything around me from single flowers to cliffs. I check to see if I have photos that are similar to what I'm trying to do. Most of the time I find I’m missing something important to the composition so I go out in the field and take more reference. I don’t copy the imagery but use it for clarity. Once I have what I need to make the painting, I then will do anywhere from one to three color oil sketches (pochades) to refine the palette. With all this preliminary work out of the way I can execute the painting with confidence. That’s pretty much it I think. What fun huh!

Warm Regards, David

Ha HA!  I just sent you an email and then I checked back and saw that you sent me a message at the same time.  I guess we are really thinking of each other!   Blessings and loads of love to you-        Deb
