It's always fascinating to me to get to peak into the mind of another painter.

However, I've always drawn and dabbled around, and before this era of my life I did what I would think of as "craft" painting - painting flowers on switchplate covers, faux finishing walls and furniture, a few murals, etc. Marlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03161793223531050486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-500242012047687194.post-53448291646255463882013-03-13T11:12:36.859-04:002013-03-13T11:12:36.859-04:00I think it looks very "Raymond-ish" (I a...I think it looks very "Raymond-ish" (I am also a fan of his, and now a fan of yours!) I think your work is lovely, regardless of whether you have figured it all out (who has??). I also think you must be fibbing when you say you have only been painting for 4 years. <br />Your work is lovely.Colette Varanouskashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17684121801432053829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-500242012047687194.post-90752464995109767412013-03-13T10:56:30.902-04:002013-03-13T10:56:30.902-04:00You chose a difficult artist to emulate in Raymond...You chose a difficult artist to emulate in Raymond! One thing I love about his work is his ability to take one simple object and make a completely satisfying and interesting still life from it, no other props needed. I think you managed that with this painting, too.<br /><br />I have the same problem with wet paint on wet paint. I can rarely finish a painting in a day because it always gets to the point where no more paint will stick before it's finished. It seems to be even more of a problem on the hard panels than on canvas. Melisahttp://www.toadinaboat.comnoreply@blogger.com
