I started out early in the morning and felt good about my plans. I knew when I started to pay too much attention to the reference that I was in trouble. I did something I don't like to do and that is use liquid frisket. It was down hill from there. Hell, even the sky was a piece of s------stuff. I let all this effect me way to much, boo hoo pity pity. Anyway, today it's going out side and the garden hose will do some jet stream on it's action.<br /><br />Thanks for being a good friend Deb.<br />DougDouble "D"https://www.blogger.com/profile/03650681131780105694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865641210746596583.post-31985685890688160452009-09-27T12:04:46.221-04:002009-09-27T12:04:46.221-04:00You are so kind Doug!
If it makes you feel any bet...You are so kind Doug!<br />If it makes you feel any better - I painted for several hours yesterday - most of the day actually - and later wondered why heck I didn't have more to show for it - then I remembered the one, that after several attempts, I completely wiped it off the canvas. I love the inspirational sketch but it just ain't happenin' on the canvas! Bummer! Still enjoyed the process of painting though so I guess it wasn't a total loss.Deb Kirkeeidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11403070607563196381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865641210746596583.post-78579517025413104672009-09-26T13:45:16.880-04:002009-09-26T13:45:16.880-04:00Love the colors...especially the sky and buildings...Love the colors...especially the sky and buildings...makes me feel warm and cozy...kind of like I'm sitting in a coffee house looking out at this scene on a crisp fall morning...TheChieftesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00153059825142977202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865641210746596583.post-75520764617244700992009-09-26T10:22:40.711-04:002009-09-26T10:22:40.711-04:00I think - "so great!"

You know us artist's we sometimes can't see the forrest for the trees.<br />I hurry at times just to get to the end. I'm glad I have my Buddette to remind me of these things. I so appreciate your visits and believe me you know plenty.<br />Enjoy yourself at the opening, relax and observe, have some wine and cheese.<br />Hopefully I can slip in another post tomorrow and keep the flow going.<br />Be safe on your return trip,<br />Fondly,<br />Your Buddy.Double "D"https://www.blogger.com/profile/03650681131780105694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865641210746596583.post-81048422349099712012009-09-25T22:35:40.402-04:002009-09-25T22:35:40.402-04:00Hi Buddy!

I wonder what it is you want to change. The only thing I might do is soften some edges. That light is so soft and cushy it craves a little bit of mystery..... but then again I struggle too...so what do I know? I love the sky. I clicked on it to enlarge and it showed the wonderful transparent glow. <br />Buddetteloriann signorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16738796573576452724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865641210746596583.post-7155497811947699472009-09-25T22:24:00.388-04:002009-09-25T22:24:00.388-04:00Hello Roger,

Now it's like relearning all that I have lost. I know it's not nearly that tragic and I will conquer my frustrations.<br />I did create this painting today and that felt good.<br />Now we'll see what tomorrow brings,<br /><br />I appreciate all your kindness Roger, your comments are very thoughtful and gratifying.<br /> I've met so many people on the blogs that are so very kind and supportive. I think it's great to have this source, especially with friends like you.<br /><br />Best wishes to you my friend,<br />DougDouble "D"https://www.blogger.com/profile/03650681131780105694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865641210746596583.post-4799874462281058652009-09-25T16:41:57.052-04:002009-09-25T16:41:57.052-04:00Hello Doug.

I sense you are feeling a little low and amongst other things are experiencing all the frustrations of a plein air artist struggling in difficult conditions. Take comfort, your work is excellent and an inspiration to others including myself. Dee Kirkeeide has visited my blog and commented. I see she is one of your regular visitors which speaks volumes about how people respond to the beautiful images you create.<br />With my very best wishes from the other side of the pond, RogerRoger Seddonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09068263545031683561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865641210746596583.post-91282340229100000172009-09-25T13:54:38.838-04:002009-09-25T13:54:38.838-04:00Thanks Deb,

Well, I was there last week. This was taken during a light house tour on a sight seeing boat. Would have been a tough plein air piece from a moving ship, that would leave about 5 seconds of painting time. Well maybe that would be a good challenge. Thanks again for coming by Deb, I always enjoy your visits and sense of humor. Uh, oops forgot, Your a damn fine painter as well.Double "D"https://www.blogger.com/profile/03650681131780105694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865641210746596583.post-72069082713323083222009-09-25T13:11:19.289-04:002009-09-25T13:11:19.289-04:00I like this.

You captured that early morning sky and I can imagine being there, the sky's colors changing, waves on the shore, gulls flying and crying and me frantically trying to mix up the right colors for that sky!Deb Kirkeeidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11403070607563196381noreply@blogger.com
