Thank you for visiting and as is usually the case... for leaving such positive and encouraging comments!<br /><br />You are right... my family is my greatest blessing and the outdoors provides me with endless pleasure and opportunities for solitude anmd productive painting forays. Rockport is the latest gem added to an already priceless crown of rewards.<br /><br />Glad that you have found the outdoors. I can readily see its positive influence in both your wonderful work and your sensitive spirit!<br /><br />Good Painting and Plein airing in 2013!~<br />Warmest regards,<br />BruceBruce Shermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13111784187521969252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3013724465609653382.post-83131677993631772012-12-27T15:54:42.481-05:002012-12-27T15:54:42.481-05:00Hi there Debbie!...

Welcome aboard... always glad to make new blogger friends!<br /><br />Sherry is a very special friend... a good spirit who I always look forward to sharing with!<br /><br />I do hope that you will give oils a try... they are very "user friendly" and suitable for all situations and especially for plein air painting in all seasons. I began with watercolour and certainly learned a great deal from that nearly twenty year relationship.<br /><br />My Family... first... my Health... and my Art are the richest blessings in my Life. They have never let me down and have always allowed me to pursue my dreams. Life can't offer better than that!<br /><br />Rich Blessings... Merry Christmas and a New Year filled with many successful paintings! Do drop by again... and I'lll be over for a visit to your site... Soon!<br /><br /><br />Thanks for visiting!<br /><br />Good Painting!<br />Warmest regards,<br />BruceBruce Shermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13111784187521969252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3013724465609653382.post-16075326827003326952012-12-27T15:41:50.500-05:002012-12-27T15:41:50.500-05:00Sounds like you had a lovely Christmas!

Your heart certainly comes through in your art. I paint mostly in watercolor, some pen and ink and pastels - never tried oils but that is on my "bucket list" - loved your family photos - looks to me like you have a wonderful loving family. Take care and hope you have a wonderful new year. I will be visiting again soon.Debbie Nolanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11168646638438558551noreply@blogger.com
