Yes, you've hit the nail on the head. It does take me a long time to finish a painting, after which I usually take a break from it. That is why I do not post often either. I certainly must try your method of "flinging" the paint! Don't forget, you put it out there and people will come!

I love watercolour the best and know what kind of effort is required for a piece such as this. I like to fling the paint more but only because i just do not have much patience and lose interest soon wanting to move on to the next. :) I admire your work and that is why i followed your blog early on. Thank you for your visit. It had been so long since last i posted i was not sure anyone would come by! All the best with your painting in the Member's Show. I'm certain it will be a front runner and take the lead.

Yes, this painting turned out to be more complicated than I thought it would be. I cannot seem to break away from working as realistically as I can...it has become my "trademark". A wonderful artist, who I originally took classes and workshops from, used to say my work was "pristine". I took it as a compliment, but every time I paint like this I say "never again". Keeping those edges is very time consuming, but I think it adds dimension, which I strive for. Thanks so much again. It was a pleasure hearing from you.Johanna Celluccihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02105086805733244807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4758209742194742364.post-25461093784233871542012-11-05T22:15:47.025-07:002012-11-05T22:15:47.025-07:00I love all the care put into this painting -- the ...I love all the care put into this painting -- the receding color temperature, the negative painting of the background leaves, the careful treatment of edges -- I think it is this care put into your work that differentiate them from a lot of other good artists I see, and make your flowers come alive. It is a very complicated painting, but it was treated skillfully so that it does not look too busy, nor overcrowded. Really love it.Arena Shawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13585731948191412898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4758209742194742364.post-48649822428897470692012-10-19T10:27:37.128-06:002012-10-19T10:27:37.128-06:00Leslie, thank you so much for leaving a comment an...Leslie, thank you so much for leaving a comment and for becoming a follower.
