I just glued up some panels, and I can't throw away the scraps because I love picking them up and smelling them!!! It's also like painting with butter, working on oil primed linen. It's one of the good things in life! It doesn't guarantee a good painting, but it sure seems to help. It's so expensive that I make sure I don't screw up the painting!<BR/><BR/>Nice painting Frank. I was getting worried about your lack of posting.

Figured I ought to get back at it before everyone abandoned me.<BR/>It has been fun just kicking back and having fun with Erin.<BR/>I am really glad that so many of you like the use of color in this one. That bolder brushwork in the foreground helps with the sense of depth. Texture like that always comes forward.<BR/>I had to resist putting in much detail at all in the background hill to make it sit back in it's place.<BR/>"Gestural essence"... That sounds good.

Your comment on the last post of 2008 reminds me of the birth of twin boys, one in 2008 the other 26 min. later in 2009! That should add fun and maybe more conflict to their lives.
