Hi, it said your message box was overfilled, so here is my reply to the message you sent to me:
Your painting really is serene and beautiful. - It's amazing what can show up in the midst of turmoil, huh?! :)
I
live in Michigan and I absolutely love traveling to the Upper Peninsula
and hiking around discovering all of the beautiful waterfalls up there.
It's a fascinating wonderland!
That drawing has so many faces to it I still new things everytime I look at it. I spotted the tree on the side of the road and took a picture of it for a later drawing. Half way into it I started seeing all these faces, but 95% of that drawing is actually the real tree. Mother nature is hard to beat. That drawing just won a regional drawing award at Newburyport Art Associaton in Mass. I can use the $175 price. The show opens Saturday night maybe I'll get lucky and sell it. I hope your doing well as a full time artist, it's tuff to make money these days.
Craig, I espeecially like your paintings of the old vehicles. I was in your area last week. Drove through Sequim to get to Port Angelos where I spent the day painting on the Spit.
