I want to spend some time studying his paintings.<br /><br />As for people who never tire of watching you demo, I think you underestimate how much people are fascinated by magic. And watching you hover over your canvas with a brush, reaching for beautiful color, pushing it around, mopping it back off, and then somehow ending up with a beautiful painting at the end of an hour or two, well I can't tire of that. Your visual memory is astonishing, and your ability to invoke feeling even years after you have seen something that inspired you is just spooky.Mitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03320277970095573853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3188700731713860207.post-37974999103636261762015-11-16T13:22:53.644-08:002015-11-16T13:22:53.644-08:00I like that tip on Garber so thank you. And I have...I like that tip on Garber so thank you. And I have been lucky enough to see some of Hassam's work here in Sacramento at the Crocker Museum. (The museum is a rare gem.) Now, you know that Monet and Renoir were my first introduction to art when I was a kid. I think many people start there and can easily reference "Impressionism" from that starting point. I am not sure I am ready to picket those two but I would picket against subjects such as lemons, cups and saucers, and avocados. Just saying.<br /><br />As for the people that watch your demos repeatedly, I'd hazard a guess that they get something new each time. It's good stuff.<br /><br />The tree is glorious! And I am glad that you continue to be astonished at the colors of Fall. Let's hope we all remain excited about everyday wonders.<br /><br />Thanks for the post!<br />LibbyLibby Fifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13532162740012986996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3188700731713860207.post-13673042273230632212015-11-16T08:51:14.258-08:002015-11-16T08:51:14.258-08:00You gave me the first laugh of the week with Renoi...You gave me the first laugh of the week with Renoir Sucks and the protesters!!ha ha I love your paintings - all of them - but I know you know what you are doing, it's just all subconscious; but you know composition and what draws a viewer into a painting even if you cannot articulate it (or don't want to do so). Now I must go back and look at Renoir and Monet and see if I agree or disagree. I do agree with Mary Cassat and Childe Hassam and had not heard of the one artist (who I will look up now). You always open my eyes to new things! Have a wonderful week, be safe, be productive, be happy.RH Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497161758269292809noreply@blogger.com
