Thanks much ...Hi Kelly - so nice to hear from you! Thanks much for your kind comments about my work and this painting. It really is quite amazing how much color exists in "white" snow as a result of light and shadow. <br /><br />It looks like you've had great success with your latest sculpture, and I hope you are keeping on with your pet portraiture - the works I saw last were fantastic!Sonya Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01879889885162011649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3640331618261060721.post-4110128325553800812011-01-18T06:41:44.352-05:002011-01-18T06:41:44.352-05:00I really love this one, I've been following yo...I really love this one, I've been following your paintings for the last few months and they're all wonderful, the clouds especially, but this one has the edge for me, I think the way you have gotten SO much colour into something that is technicaly "just white" is beautiful.<br />Keep up the amazing works, and keep on blogging! :o)<br /><br />KellyKelly's Studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02643885290163373357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3640331618261060721.post-2127454863118423142011-01-17T11:43:31.001-05:002011-01-17T11:43:31.001-05:00Casey - thank you kindly, as always, for your thou...Casey - thank you kindly, as always, for your thoughtful comments. I guess the trade-off for shorter days are brighter days, courtesy of the snow's effect on the land. I love it, and I admit I love painting it because of the beautiful colors.<br /><br />As for any talent I may have - coming from an artist such as yourself, that is a tremendous compliment. I look at all the wonderful art being created by my fellow bloggers, and realize I have a long way to go. Their work inspires me to keep working hard to improve my skills and capitalize on whatever element of talent is there.<br /><br />Helen - I'm glad you enjoy this as well. I totally agree about turquoise being an uplifting color. It's my favorite gemstone and my favorite shade of blue, hands-down.Sonya Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01879889885162011649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3640331618261060721.post-47676165563399343512011-01-17T10:12:35.592-05:002011-01-17T10:12:35.592-05:00I like this one to.
