It took me quite awhile to learn how to use color more interpretively rather than just copying the local color, so absolutely keep working at it! I've never been to Nova Scotia, but I imagine you have beautiful scenery there to paint!Barbara Jaenickehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09356587344084067982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2812995684986697670.post-25120226841897266802012-10-15T12:27:52.021-07:002012-10-15T12:27:52.021-07:00Sorry, i forgot to say, your work is absolutely st...Sorry, i forgot to say, your work is absolutely stunning....the richness of color and the vibrant energy in your paintings is wonderful.....i've just started using pastels and love the medium!<br /><br />cheers again, Linda Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2812995684986697670.post-31662261552813225072012-10-15T12:25:25.575-07:002012-10-15T12:25:25.575-07:00I've just found your blog and i'm very exc...I've just found your blog and i'm very excited...i've signed up and look forward to learning more. i am particularly excited by your vision of colour where there is something different. i'm a full time potter and have been dabbling in painting etc for some years....sometimes i struggle with what colours to use, cos sometimes the actual scene colorwise isn't so exciting...so thanks for pushing this envelope....i'll be heading back thro your blog to get more information! <br /><br />by the way, i'm way up on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia....so this kind of information and help is totally appreciated! many thanks for taking the time to share your vision!<br /><br />Cheers, Linda Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2812995684986697670.post-81702366647157218642012-09-30T12:59:19.100-07:002012-09-30T12:59:19.100-07:00Thanks, Donna!

I too have always found it helpful to learn from others by seeing how they interpret their reference material, which is why I sometimes include it here on my blog when I think it may be useful when explaining my process, challenges, etc. And keeping a blog is a great way for me to force myself to keep pushing for the best solution to a painting, rather than just tossing it aside when I'm not satisfied.
