Tom, hugging you for such a lovely response to this roundup post. I’m glad it came at the just the right time for you. And I’m happy it reminds you to look closely, to understand what’s going on below the obvious content. Keep painting your lovely pieces!

That applies to me, today, and your blog. This student was ready! I read your critique of each piece … slowly… and chewed on each word. Brilliant insights and so genuinely, personally, presented. You reminded me to really EXAMINE paintings to not just enjoy but to learn and to discover what totally works in each piece and what might distract. Your blog is such a huge fountain of inspiration. Thanks!

I saw Willo Balfrey, “Morning on the Canal,” pastel, 9 x 12in. and was reminded of a painting I did this past fall in the 31 Day Challenge. Here is a link to it.
I learn so very much from your blog. Thank you for all the work you put into it.
Harriett
