I can't imagine doing something like this myself and, at the same time you have been dashing all over the countryside painting on site and cranking out paintings in the studio. You have to have a very supportive family to do simething like this. You have made a lot of sense out of a lot of confusion by cutting through tons of BS and presenting well thought out analyses of the subject. I would like to see you do more presentations of artists YOU are taken with and present more of their works. A painter's take on a painting is a lot more valuable to me than a scholar's, and your use of this tool has been very helpful.

You have a great way of getting to the essentials; concise, yet still conversational.<br />I am up way too late, seeing as how the little munchkins will have me up at the crack of dawn. I have a book which illustrates about a dozen of these compositional formats - the book is sort of dorky in a way, but it is a handy reference for some basic design ideas, and for that I find it useful. You all would probably find it more useful if I could actually post the title and author, but that would require me to go upstairs in the attic of the barn, where my studio is, and I just don't feel like running up there tonight. I think the title is something like "14 Fabulous Formats for Landscape Painting", but I"m not sure. <br />"torou" French for " Come here, bull!"Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01799016923038189074noreply@blogger.com
