Thanks for the input Johnnie. It actually does have a lot of blue wash with a few white highlights. I don’t think my camera picked it up–cell phone:)
Thanks Alex! -

I had to do some digital “manipulation” as part of my job many moons ago. We had to paint pixel by pixel! Ack!! I think I have a permanent phobia of digital art now!! You’ve done very well with a difficult medium. Two thumbs up for a nice landscape that’s a pleasure to admire.

Very nice, Paula! You seemed to keep the freshness in your colors. I think you did a great job staying loose. You didn’t lose the boats as focal point with extra focal points. I really like how you handled it!

Took some photos after the snow started to melt. Challenging myself with distant trees–infer the branch canopy. I think the trunks and specified branches are a bit too dark tonally to pull it off…..meh. I like painting snow more than experiencing it, though. Does it constitute pain for art????

I love the loose label (Mark already stole my glass comment!). I would have overworked it, but you pulled off color and shapes. Brave painting all around!

I don’t actually know, Alex. I was wondering out loud. Thinking about night shadows and their tonal value to the sky….At some point yes, the sky would be as dark, but does your painting size allow for that point? On my part, if I’m not satisfied with the outcome, I usually go for broke–nothing ventured, nothing gained. I’m not suggesting that…[Read more]

That is soooooo beautiful!!!! There’s more than one way to skin a cat, and you’ve found a great tool in your ipad!

Very nice, Alex! You should be pleased with the highlight on the top of the ice and the shadowing on the sides! I wonder if you darkened the upper right side of the sky to the same intensity as the shadow at the waterline under the ice??? I love the purples!!!

Great job! Time to fire up the hairdryer!! I like the cropped version because the sky and the reds feel more balanced to me. I’d just seen that pic on my youtube feed last week and thought it was very Monet-ish ๐ You’ve taken command of it!

This is great! I really like the boat–it’s loose with some texture, very natural looking. Two thumbs up:)
