I think I already knew that but I was just venting for the day ... oh well. Back to the easel (As soon as I get this jury duty thing out of the way ...).Leslie Saetahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12117990337430054782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1852236594466075258.post-72151964479305507082009-03-03T19:00:00.000-08:002009-03-03T19:00:00.000-08:00Leslie,I saw a documentary of the late Fritz Schol...Leslie,<BR/>I saw a documentary of the late Fritz Scholder, in which he takes a painting out of his drying bins, and cuts it up with a box cutter, saying it 'defied' him. He explains that he'll work on a painting on and off for a long time (his paintings show that he frequently 'reworked'), but sometimes the painting never comes together -- those he just destroys, and said that it gave him some satisfaction.<BR/><BR/>...The frustration lies somewhere in our inability to understand what the painting is telling us it needs, I think -- a one-sided conversation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1852236594466075258.post-2904133417051720742009-03-03T07:21:00.000-08:002009-03-03T07:21:00.000-08:00Very appealing work!Very appealing work!http://www.onpainting.wordpress.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11686317908010461627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1852236594466075258.post-91856783812220563152009-03-02T21:18:00.000-08:002009-03-02T21:18:00.000-08:00Dori,Yo are too kind!

Especially hte things we really enjoy. I am cranky right now because I just found out I have jury duty tomorrow.

I see more and expect more. I have learned to walk away only recently and just move on. Sometimes I ponder the problem and sometimes it is not the best thing for me to do and again I move on.<BR/>I must say that I totally enjoy your work. They are vibrant and so exciting in your color and beautiful texture. You are an inspiration to watch. Looking forward to see more boats and reflections.Dewberry Fine Arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02515382463230939951noreply@blogger.com
