I like and enjoy the exchange you usually get going on your blog.<br />Before I paint I do the same as you do, Absorb the sight, sounds and essence of the place. I guess it is because I am not the worlds best photographer that I never can see the colors in the shadows correctly, but you cannot beat the camera for that fleeting moment of magic when the light hits just right!juliefordoliver.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07186754679744000743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4203287968430038256.post-42917500723013920372012-07-12T10:09:17.086-06:002012-07-12T10:09:17.086-06:00You paid me the compliment of really studying the ...You paid me the compliment of really studying the painting and I thank you for that, Rita.juliefordoliver.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07186754679744000743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4203287968430038256.post-5901522010979011432012-07-12T10:07:07.727-06:002012-07-12T10:07:07.727-06:00Thank you, Libby.

I remember your post from some time back before I knew your blog very well and I remember thinking "this lady LOVES to paint". I also remember thinking how your photo of your setup in the car with the glove box and all reminded me of Edward Hopper's painting "Jo in Wyoming". http://www.wikipaintings.org/en/edward-hopper/jo-in-wyoming<br /><br />Jo could be you. Or you could be Jo. I don't know. ...hey, I made poetry. :)Lisa Graham https://www.blogger.com/profile/17908986924935514538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4203287968430038256.post-4110866349273680432012-07-12T08:29:43.936-06:002012-07-12T08:29:43.936-06:00Beautiful, Julie.

I think you may be right, but I'm not sure. I never seem to think about painting when I'm experiencing a place--the aroma in the air, the touch of the rocks, the sand that gets in your shoes, the heat from the sun and how it shimmers on water. I soak up the atmosphere through my pores and when I do look at the photographs I took later, I'm there again and can hear the music of the place: the roar of the falls or the gurgle of the stream or how the trees danced with the breezes. Maybe fifty/fifty?<br /><br />Meanwhile these are beautiful paintings you're doing of beautiful places in our spot on the planet.Linda Rothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02833417183469551153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4203287968430038256.post-415085698590655062012-07-12T07:00:05.603-06:002012-07-12T07:00:05.603-06:00The movement of water at the point where eyes will...The movement of water at the point where eyes will pause to look, the gentle curve that you have given to the water color, I watch and feel ,I remain attached to the sound of water and I see the color of the sky ...
