I would not ever get tired of looking at that piece. So, referring your analogy of longer than a television ad, you definitely accomplished your goal. I do think we all go through this searching in various degrees, to regroup, absorb, and redirect. Your work is beautiful, Peter.<BR/>My best,<BR/>CherylCheryl Passhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01894307477506374497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31326301.post-46302528839742585782008-11-01T16:00:00.000-06:002008-11-01T16:00:00.000-06:00I was reading an article today found in the April/...I was reading an article today found in the April/May 2000 issue of International Artist Magazine entitled "The Authorship Of Painting". C W Mundy the great oil painter I've long admired says "finding your voice allows you to get past the formulaic approaches and techniques to reveal how you feel, adding unsurpassed dept to your paintings". The article is about getting beyond holding technique as the goal and allowing it to become the means to the goal. As we embark on the journey of finding out who we are as artists we find that it is a spiritual one as well as an artistic one. They are one in the same. That article earlier today really has turned my thinking about my work and then I read your blog! Thanks, for sharing and I will look in often. It's good to see your work again and the two paintings are awesome.Marilyn M.

I *love* the water in the foreground of the bridge piece, and my eye (and imagination) goes straight for the seat of the swing on the second piece. Beautiful sense of place in each of them. I am also reading Meryman's Secret Life about Wyeth, and I'm stunned by the book. I so love the way he relays the inescapable tangle between the artist and the artists' life & history. Incredible book.<BR/>Glad to see your post today.

These are real beauties!! It can almost hurt sometimes to think that there is so much beauty in the world and we are so limited by either time or talent in trying to capture it on canvas--non-artists might have a problem relating to how the "need" to paint captures our daily lives. So glad to see you back.

I think all of us are striving to find our true "voice" in terms of painting. I read somewhere that the problem is that we can create in our heads the perfect painting, it might be prompted by an idea or by something we actually see. But by the time we have picked up a brush and dipped it in paint and moved our arm to the surface a small gap has been created between the vision and the execution. We need all the time to strive to minimise that gap. But sooo difficult !!! Thanks for the Wyeth reference. I know so little about him but am interested to find out more.Sheila Vaughanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11202418013915704272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31326301.post-56256959053441778942008-10-30T08:39:00.000-06:002008-10-30T08:39:00.000-06:00Hi Peter - it's great to see you back!!

I've missed your daily posts, but I understand where you're coming from - it's why I've never committed to the whole daily painting thing - I wanted the freedom to work on what I wanted to work on, whenever.<BR/><BR/>Love these paintings - especially the top one. I love how the trees recede into the distance behind the shadowed ones in the front! Nice work =)Stacey Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10092020892186641387noreply@blogger.com
