Jean,

Just remember that as crazy and analytical as I can get with colors and computers, in the end it's your eyes that count the most in fixing a color. Nothing else comes close! fortunately eyes are what we mostly all have in common.

Dear Ilaria, Terri, and Janet,

All your kind words are keenly appreciated. The one benefit from the responses is a greater awareness of the variety of options to a response, in terms of vocabulary choices.

Thanks,

Garth

Dude...Sweet...

I'm gonna paint some landscapes.

Peace out,

[Garth Herrick]

David, have you considered the option of placing people into those landscapes?

Thanks,

Garth

Edit: Actually David, I kind of recall that it was around the time of your discussion about using tonal relationships to commence a painting that I was getting started on this. Come to think of it, you influenced my painting!

[David Carroll]

People into landscapes....Hmmmm.......People......

I wonder......Has it been done before?

I need to meditate....

Dear Garth,

This portrait, its richness and quality, is beyond words. What a wonderful accomplishment! I hope you have the exhibition rights because everyone should see this.

I predict you will be a very, very busy man.

Your friend,

Scott

Dear Scott,

I am speechless. Wait, ...my voice is returning! Exhibitions and more, will be a good legal question to pose before the august and esteemed council and judges. I'll have to use some influence upon the Court and try to win their favor in this regard, as there is no current such provision extended in the contract I signed, as far as I know. They might be simpathetic for a special allowance, but who knows.

Thanks sincerely for the suggestion,

Garth
