Said something along the lines : 'what a unique exhibition to have stories and images - should sure bring in the visitors - good luck' or some such words and knowing me probably more!!!<BR/><BR/>Thanks Anita - yes the sun has stopped shining and the blue sky is grey - but I could still manage a trip to the pub with you (inside by the roaring log fire of course). <BR/><BR/>Thanks Claudia. Actually I'll probably use this one as a 'draft' as I am not sure about the way the thatch line of the back boathouse runs into the angle of the front one and wish I had not put a tree in the background behind the roof of the far boathouse as I think I'd prefer to see a straight line there. Also compositionally, I think I should have put the houses further to the left. .. but then we are never satisfied with our own work.Joan Sandford-Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04228835690449964257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5363771184265614010.post-89966419331144685332008-02-21T12:46:00.000+00:002008-02-21T12:46:00.000+00:00Again a very good watercolour!

I was going through the EDM superblog when these jumped off the screen at me and I heard myself squealing 'I know those, I've seen those' I just knew it must have been an entry by you.<BR/>You have painted them beautifully, I especially like the calm green foreground against all that interesting bark detail.<BR/>So sad to read about the trees, what a terrible shame.<BR/>Can't wait until this weather heats up a bit so you and I can sit in that spot together again, or perhaps a little further back and to the right....with a nice shandy and a prawn cocktail in the pub garden! ;)Anita Davieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03651162546509817976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5363771184265614010.post-76469513121851593752008-02-19T12:31:00.000+00:002008-02-19T12:31:00.000+00:00In May I'm going to have my first one man art show...In May I'm going to have my first one <BR/>man art show in an Art Gallery that use to be a stage-coach station over a hundred years ago. I could have had <BR/>a one man show years ago but I wanted the Gallery to have a great story that I put my art in.<BR/><BR/>All my art on display will have a short story to go with the title and the price.Robert A Vollrathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03724748212110046882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5363771184265614010.post-46773372760494440722008-02-19T09:14:00.000+00:002008-02-19T09:14:00.000+00:00Thanks Casey - I too was pleased with the winter t...Thanks Casey - I too was pleased with the winter trees. I think they are easier to interpret than full blown green leaved summer ones. I have always thought of the winter outline of trees as lacework tracery by our creator. <BR/><BR/>Its wonderful Robert how we bounce off each others work. Your wonderful stories made me realise I had to add a text interest to go with my images. There is always a story behind each work.Joan Sandford-Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04228835690449964257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5363771184265614010.post-86983555519143292202008-02-18T17:16:00.000+00:002008-02-18T17:16:00.000+00:00Again you have a perfect match of image and text. ...Again you have a perfect match of image and text.
