I liked the way the path and wall wound its way up the hill too. <BR/>That texture of the linen really shows up depending on the angle of the light when I photograph. Like I mentioned to you, I shoot them in full sun, because I think I get more accurate color.<BR/>I'm glad you like those panels. They are my favorites.<BR/><BR/>By the way guys, I added some text to my post that I left off yesterday.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your comments!Frank Gardnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02011564146411771531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5398982987918743636.post-5101733878910914772008-02-13T09:15:00.000-06:002008-02-13T09:15:00.000-06:00Hey Frank, this is really lovely, beautiful compos...Hey Frank, this is really lovely, beautiful composition. I love the way you lead into the subject using the road and the stone wall. Very impressionistic! Again, the texture of the linen adds much to the piece, too. I ordered a dozen 8X 10 panels from Raymar as you suggested and very much enjoy working with them.<BR/>Still snowing here, would love to be in Mexico dust and all...Jack Riddlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16532608411801891129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5398982987918743636.post-32143347982583376972008-02-13T08:25:00.000-06:002008-02-13T08:25:00.000-06:00Hi Frank, I spent some time really looking at this...Hi Frank, I spent some time really looking at this one. It has a wonderful expressive quality in the way you portray the sweep of the land. This piece has a great balance of purely aesthetic qualities, the forms and colours etc. and a sense of place. You handled the trees with a real elegance and subtlety. I love it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15375615378259386972noreply@blogger.com
