Your outlook on the ...Beautiful paintings, Randall! Your outlook on the landscape is ethereal and hopeful and completely delightful. We watched 20 minutes of fireworks in Seward, AK, in a midnight-dusky sky. 20 minutes was just about perfect. The drinking and loudness lasted another hour or two. Not my favorite holiday, either.Katherine van Schoonhovenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16856296773149274225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3188700731713860207.post-24526679627452270082015-07-07T09:32:48.413-07:002015-07-07T09:32:48.413-07:00OK, you have shown me enough magical impressions o...OK, you have shown me enough magical impressions of Oneonta Gorge, that I am just going to have to go there! I echo your sentiments about fireworks (and generous rowdiness) - perhaps we curmudgeons should all rent a cabin in the Cascades, where fire laws prohibit tomfoolery....<br />And you KNOW I love the clouds over water in the Multnomah Channel painting - luscious!<br />BlueHwyGalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11322048670392789640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3188700731713860207.post-64936733909281877722015-07-07T04:07:26.489-07:002015-07-07T04:07:26.489-07:00Randall-

It's that space. <br /><br />I also keyed in to what you said about the wetlands; about them feeling all at once like the earth, sky and water. That describes what I was feeling when I visited Big Chico Creek last year. Standing in the middle of an area enclosed by trees and bushes with the creek ahead of me, I lost all sense of up and down and what was what. It's like being enveloped by the environment; absorbed by it and made a part of it. <br /><br />The fourth is not my favorite holiday either, maybe for some of the same reasons. It's particularly ridiculous here too given the dryness and drought. That we allow any fireworks at all is so backwards to my way of thinking. If I had the money, I would donate to the organizations that benefit from the sales just to make them stop selling!<br /><br />Good luck with the show! Thank you as always for the great posts.<br />Libby<br /><br />Libby Fifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13532162740012986996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3188700731713860207.post-31675346625327314192015-07-06T14:03:56.552-07:002015-07-06T14:03:56.552-07:00Neighbors had some very loud music all day and the...Neighbors had some very loud music all day and then fireworks displays all over the neighborhood that night (they are against the law but the law looks the other way, I guess). I used to oooh and aaaah over them, but now I'm jaded and just wait for midnight for them to stop. Remember when we were kids and fireworks were so amazing and you wished they never ended? ha ha<br />I LOVE this 2nd painting - mystery, depth, colors, shapes, everything about it just intrigues me. And the 3rd one is like being in a canoe in the early morning light, moving towards that island, which has to be magical because just look at all the colors!! Wonderful work, once again; and so glad you had a happy 4th in spite of the noise :)RH Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497161758269292809noreply@blogger.com
