Thanks so much Lorraine. As you know, when you take a step in a new direction, so many doubts creep in and so it’s always nice to get outside reassurance and encouragement! You too can be brave!!

I really enjoy Casey’s work and wish wish wish I was brave enough to be so free! I love the new expressive direction you’re taking lately! 🙂

Wow – thanks Lorraine!! Funny you should mention Casey. I was thinking I wanted to do something as liberated as his work so I really appreciate the comparison!
Weather has cleared up and as you will see above, I hope to join Anita and friend for some painting en plein air 🙂
I also hope to do some more exploratory work like “Zingara” while here.

Thanks Sandy! I really wondered about the figure – I mean, where did this pose come from?? So I am glad you like it!

Wow – plein air painting for 10 days sounds wonderful! Thank you for the invitation to join you. I am in the middle of a tango workshop week but we don’t have classes on Thursday until the afternoon. Perhaps we can get together then?
