It was of a railroad roundhouse in Pennsylvania. He bought his own piece, repaired it, and today it is one of the keystones of the American painting collection in the National Gallery of Art. Many the struggling artist can take comfort in such a story.Philip Kochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05191070779177407750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682081471599286551.post-45355702999686504972009-08-16T10:53:06.525-04:002009-08-16T10:53:06.525-04:00Oh yeah, my response to Gregory Becker's quest...Oh yeah, my response to Gregory Becker's question...I would go back to when I was still in college the first time and say, "Keep painting, the dream is possible!"

I know a number of artists whose religion is art and the sale their most important sacrament...<br /><br />I live in Pinellas County, Fl about 40 minutes drive from Tarpon Springs. Inness had a home in Tarpon Springs. A rather large one. He had a slot in the wall through which he would pass his large canvases. His son, George Jr., inherited the property and lived most of his adult life there. I have a late 19th century, paint spattered table that came from that "manor". My wife and I sometimes joke about which splotches came from George Sr.<br /><br />Good post!Robert J.

As far as th...Oh do I ever love that tree painting.<br />As far as the reflection pic I am still looking. It's hard to find a good photo that displays it.<br />When I stand next to a body of water. I look to the left and the right. From both positions the reflections point toward me. If someone was standing next to me they would say that the reflections are pointing toward themselves.<br />I guess what my point is is that to represent that phenomenon positions the viewer and lends to more believability. It is subtle however when you are looking staightforward. I think that our eyes percieve it much better than a camera. Now I cant stop seeing it.<br />Great post. I'll keep looking for an example.Gregory Beckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840770708114257366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682081471599286551.post-80793496313792321372009-08-16T07:37:29.625-04:002009-08-16T07:37:29.625-04:00There is a certain resemblance Stape...LOLThere is a certain resemblance Stape...LOLRae O'Sheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00829088157775335888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682081471599286551.post-619462741191837842009-08-16T02:14:19.187-04:002009-08-16T02:14:19.187-04:00Stape~
