Yes, one day a bunch of us went to Red Rocks to paint, and we all ended up painting the same big rock formation. I like that--everyone's different take on the same subject is interesting. And it is exciting to remember one's own artist. Just wish I would quit the forgetting, lolTom Sarmohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00312089637813146270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839494021570903121.post-28814249238278124032016-05-19T07:40:57.354-06:002016-05-19T07:40:57.354-06:00Looking cranky??

I like the warm bridge even though it was "a misty moisty morning when cloudy was the weather..." I love the tones and details in it. Your 'outline' technique works well in it. The gouache looks fantastic. The big rock formation is nice, too, though I like the bridge best. BTW, the big rock formation looks familiar. One of the artists at Helikon painted it, yes? Your paint partner for the day, Mike, his work is wonderful, too. <br /><br />I am so glad that you are getting to yourself again. I know I felt that way when I created a couple of wall pillows a few years back. I felt as if I were finally "rememberiing who and what manner of artist/person I was." Exciting, indeed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
