It has such a lively... and painterly quality... and a very strong composition right from the get-go!<br /><br />Keep it loose! Paint shapes and remember ... "a stroke laid is a stroke stayed!" You'll do just fine Girl!<br /><br />Good Painting!<br />Warmest regards,<br />BruceBruce Shermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13111784187521969252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3013724465609653382.post-70479591384725096022012-09-20T16:13:23.650-04:002012-09-20T16:13:23.650-04:00I appears that a grand time was had by all, Bruce!...I appears that a grand time was had by all, Bruce!<br />You stepped up to bat for the demos and smacked 'em right outta the park!<br />Thanks for all the photos...Inspiring! :)Dean H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02834470562550878971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3013724465609653382.post-7394185505527619152012-09-20T14:30:09.708-04:002012-09-20T14:30:09.708-04:00I would love to have participated in this - looks ...I would love to have participated in this - looks like everyone had such a good time! I only wish the photo of the People's Choice winners and their work was not so overexposed - I wanted a really good look at the art!:-)<br />I have been carefully looking, also, at many of your paintings as I work away on this landscape for the Cortes Children's Forest. I slap paint on and then feel tentative and niggle at the same two inch spot for two hours! Craziness! I am making myself forget all those teeny details and see the "big picture" and hoping to get that down with vigour and pizzazz! Your looser approach is a big influence for me right now!

Thanks for visiting and for you supportive remarks!<br /><br />I was pleased with the result for both demos... given the fact that I was really tired from a full day of painting which left me a little wilted... and not totally on my game!<br /><br />It was great to share with everyone... and I think we all gained from being together over the three days! I certainly did!<br /><br />Good Fall Painting!<br />Warmest regards,<br />BruceBruce Shermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13111784187521969252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3013724465609653382.post-50021777104314903772012-09-19T12:44:43.541-04:002012-09-19T12:44:43.541-04:00Well done on stepping in at the last minute with y...Well done on stepping in at the last minute with your demo.
