Dear Mari,
Thank you for your kind comments about my sketch, they are much appreciated.
Allan Banks has been one of my favorite artists for many years. One of his paintings is of two girls on a park bench and it was in the back of my mind when I set up my own painting. Lucky you to be able to take a workshop from him.
I'm jealously guarding my spot in William Whitaker's workshop and I hope he can whip me into shape with working from life in cool northern light.
Thanks for sending me to Richard Lack's palette. My heart flutters whenever I see a strong violet on a palette. I don't know how people can paint without it.
I'm under a lot of time pressure with this painting so I'll be doing a lot of work from photos hereafter. I am in the very enviable position of having both an indoor and an outdoor place to set up easels. Years ago I had a drawing table next to a hot water heater in a dark basement on Long Island. Though I was grateful to have it at the time, my current situation is definitely preferable.
Linda
