Couldn't help but notice these birch trees painted by Gruppe and the similar birch trees you talk about in the tree posts.<br />Your blog is a joy to read and I'm taking my time extracting every bit of info I can from it. It's been so helpful to me to help understand landscape painting and I even look at paintings differently now than I ever did before. Huge thanks to you!<br />SusanSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02220250453773715090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682081471599286551.post-41523307981735923382011-08-28T08:32:32.581-04:002011-08-28T08:32:32.581-04:00I know I have a lot to learn, but this keeps happe...I know I have a lot to learn, but this keeps happening to me. today's nice Grupppe is a good example. I would have passed this scene by because the trees obscured the view!or I would have made the church the main subject and omitted the trees. Or, I might have painted the foreground trees and edited out the church and other buildings. But I recently had a discussion with another painter friend lately who was looking for obscured or semi masked subject matter. What is with that?<br />However I do like buildings that are partially blocked my a hill or a mid ground field, but not totally vielled.willekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05626541339963605016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682081471599286551.post-60164622654969409272011-08-27T15:03:03.153-04:002011-08-27T15:03:03.153-04:00I really enjoyed this post, Stape....

I think he did let a lot of work out of the studio that shouldn't have "made the cut". But as often he nailed it with great design and bold color. As a result of the Gloucester show I threw out the 20 colors that had worked there way onto my palette and went back to the basics. Hibbard is definitely a god too!Kevin Beckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09482856170417171598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682081471599286551.post-28856670930361883612011-08-27T06:53:33.406-04:002011-08-27T06:53:33.406-04:00Yeah...what a difference a design makes!Yeah...what a difference a design makes!mariandioguardi.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16963944767715466681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682081471599286551.post-8987861801241213882011-08-26T22:30:57.687-04:002011-08-26T22:30:57.687-04:00This painting has a nice fresh feeling.
