Another nice one! How do you decide which colors to use for the block in, Wayne? Do you mostly aim for neutrals?

Very nice! I like the variety of marks you made.

You must be reading my mind, Grapes. I’m having a hard time learning how to mix greens and here are some very natural greens in a gorgeous painting for me to admire. I like how your greens progress from yellow-greens to blue-greens as they move into the distance.

Jade, such an adorable squirrel and I think the eyes are beautiful! Liz, that’s a great pen and ink. I never go back to compare with the photos so the paws work for me.

A beautiful image to go with those beautiful thoughts. This world has been very special to me too. Your creativity is always an inspiration!

I can relate to this cozy backyard scene too! Very nicely done, Wayne, with your usual expressive strokes of paint. I like the lighting effect and how it invites our eyes to explore.

I’m glad you posted this, Grapes. I was admiring the thick strokes of paint in your recent lion cub piece and when I saw this one it really hit me that I need to use much more paint. This is a lovely painting and I’m sure it brings you right back there when you see it. (Also, I can see why you...

Grapes, I think I can recognize your style now. The lion cub is so beautiful! You did the colors and textures so well!

That’s awful, Wayne. Frozen goods are supposed to get you through tough times when you can’t get to the stores.

Oh no! I hope this didn’t happen to you. Another well - painted story.

Terri, it’s an effort for me to keep “things” from appearing and wrecking any sense of abstraction. I envy those who can make shapes and not feel compelled to make them look like anything. The second one was much more abstract but as soon as I saw a tree it was all over. 🤣 I’m glad it still...

It’s funny that you all seem to prefer the second one because I really want to do more like the first one. Maybe I will rethink that! Thanks for your thoughts, Liz.

You paint the best stories! The girl looks like she needs a friend and the chicken knows it.

Thanks Sno and Sanlynn. At least I don’t have to struggle with photo references with these. 🙂

Wayne, please keep offering your thoughts! They are how I learn and learning is everything to me.
