Elizabeth has a very nice feel to her work and this was a great exercise to try and emulate it. I hope to buy one of her paitnings in the future when one strikes me. Hi Gwen!

The Ochers and Dusty Blues compliment each other perfectly. The choice for bright white here and there really makes it cohesive. I like the way you brought moments of gold into the tree tops. Really lovely! Love this simple composition. The Ochers and Dusty Blues compliment each other perfectly. The choice for bright white here and there really makes it cohesive.

He must use a big brush is all I can say. The colors are great and I love the expressive brushwork. Are you going to go to the show? also noticed that his asking prices are similar to Jay Moore's here in Colorado. Please, oh, please let me be able to paint that way someday!

I have seen his art in person and it blows me away. He maintains his loose, expressive brushwork while painting larger than five feet tall. I ask him how he does it and he simply says that is the only way he knows how to paint. I wish I had the same problem. http://www.johncookart.com/ ( click on the ad for his one man show ) Lee, if you are not familiar with John Cook, check out this link.

I feel the same way about your work. I am not sure what I would do if I did not have the ability to see the work of others to keep me motivated. The web is a wonderful thing for feeding the creative process. I enjoy the practice paintings because I feel I am able to leverage the experience of painters with a lot more time on the canvas.

I come from an architectural background also. Constantly have to make myself paint looser. Your last two posts are inspiring me to do some practice paintings. I want to work on changing a colors temperature without changing the value. You inspired me. Keep up the good work. Nice work Lee. I come from an architectural background also.
