There's a great feel to this painting. I really like the way you cropped this, and your clean vibrant colours. There’s a great feel to this painting.

You did a super job on this! I see evidence that you took Karin's advice of seeing what needs to be there and what doesn't. The great vivid colors and judicious choices you made are strong and very dynamic. Hi Lee,

I have enjoyed visiting your site and recently got a chuckle out of your Cowsablanca post. I have a picture I should post sometime of a bull sculpture that I stumbled upon on the site of a 14th century fortress in Salzburg, Austria! Thanks for visiting again Dominique!

I love your bold colors and the composition. I really like how each cab is in a slightly different angle and it give a great feeling of movement in different direction in & out weaving through. Well done. What a great piece you did for DSFDF. I love your bold colors and the composition.

I didn't mean to leave you out of the last reply as you posted just as I responded! I spent some time on your site last week and really like the diversity of your work. The Tapestry and Crossroads pieces are particularly compelling. I was in San Francisco a few weeks back and there was a Artist's Guild show in Union Square. One of the artists had a few pieces that employed modeling compound and metallic feel paint and glazing techniques on canvas that were really interesting. I wish I could see your pieces first hand. Not sure if you show these in Denver but I will plan to stop the gallery on Fillmore Street the next time I am up there. Thanks for the positive words Carol.

I was having a conversation with a friend today about trying to train our eyes to see more color in the things we look at everyday. I honestly feel that taking up painting has allowed me to see more and fully appreciate my surroundings. It was fun to let go on this one and think about of the impact of color rather than the true grittiness of a city. I am heading back to Colorado tomorrow morning and plan to visit each your sites to view more of your work as well!
