Also I was ...That is a good sized plein air piece. Also I was looking at the drawing part with all the windows and wondering how much time you spent and what you drew with. The drawing looks complex enough to use up all the light getting it down.<BR/><BR/>It is looking great at this stage. Coming from a small town about 40 miles from Omaha, the warm brick brings back memories of that area.http://www.onpainting.wordpress.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11686317908010461627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31326301.post-96723770849626342009-01-06T11:16:00.000-06:002009-01-06T11:16:00.000-06:00Oh- great question!

Please continue as I will be very interested to see how you handle the bricks. One always hears "you can't paint every brick" but then, look at Vermeer's. I've never seen "The Little Street" - it is wonderful. I wish I could see it in person, closepup. I can't tell if Vermeer painted every brick :0) but it certainly looks as if he tried!Mary J DuValhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10837373686282535719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31326301.post-86305086039578408822009-01-05T10:21:00.000-06:002009-01-05T10:21:00.000-06:00Peter..."Old Omaha" is a truly beautiful work!

I think he must have painted with tenderness and care.Michel McNinchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02819693817601404538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31326301.post-38286960766627116782009-01-04T17:35:00.000-06:002009-01-04T17:35:00.000-06:00First of all the best wishes for 2009 Peter.It'...First of all the best wishes for 2009 Peter.<BR/>It's great fun to see your getting inspired by a Dutch<BR/>painter. Delft is such a lovely city, even now.<BR/>I been there last year for a few days and painted in the area<BR/>as well. When you ever have the opportunity you should visit it.<BR/><BR/>Here a nice spot to keep you going when the bricks are getting too much.<BR/><BR/>> <A HREF="http://i.pbase.com/o2/71/614971/1/52469758.Delft1.jpg" REL="nofollow"><EM><STRONG>Delft</STRONG></EM></A> <<BR/><BR/>Good luck!René PleinAirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03368603005553165550noreply@blogger.com
