Giverny Shadows, 40" x 30"

Linda--

I'm really impressed with all of the recent posts, but I especially admire this one if for no other reason than the totally fresh point of view.

I really take this as a challenge to always stretch for an original concept, even (especially) in the commissioned work, where it's easy to just knock off another version of the last piece one did.

Thanks for jolting me out of my complacency.

Best as always--TE

Wow Tom,

Your comments really give me a sense of confidence, like I've just earned my first feather in my hat. Thank you so much Tom.

I think this is tremendous. The way you composed this is almost overwhelming to someone like me who has no natural sense of color and balance.

Kind of reminds me a little of Andrew Wyeth's 'Christina's World' -because of the dreamy effect. I imagine that the grass could go on forever, and the children have no cares or worries.

Thanks for the peace, we need it these days...

Thank you Carlos - that 's so odd that you mention Christina's World, I bought a book a few months ago on the three generations of Wyeths (awesome artwork). Maybe some of the book seeped through onto the painting!
