I have been remembering how your paintings (and your welcoming kindness) got me through a rough spot last year at this time..... <br />it's your paintings I come to see, even if I DO ALWAYS go back after gazing (and usually after commenting, I admit) to read your wonderful, rolling words. But I always look at the paintings first, and they are what I come back for.Solvayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03550634075969288572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5398982987918743636.post-56196357916181700772009-06-25T13:02:53.136-05:002009-06-25T13:02:53.136-05:00A good monitor will do wonders for looking at artw...A good monitor will do wonders for looking at artwork Solveg! I did like her kind of hidden away quietly in the shade. <br />I liked how she had the bottles of Coke out on the tables and would sell it by the glass. Very welcoming.<br />Oh, It's a woman.

Lo, there IS a person in there. Honestly, I couldn't see her on the other monitor. So, I'll edit my previous comment and say that I love how deep the shadow is compared to the host sun, so that the woman is so ensconced in the shade that you have to look deep in to see her. Regardless, there is that great "presence of habitation" that's felt through your painting, even without seeing the woman there.....that is an even bigger compliment, actually.Solvayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03550634075969288572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5398982987918743636.post-57836839677856597642009-06-25T10:48:08.509-05:002009-06-25T10:48:08.509-05:00Thanks John Paul.
