I think those pens will take some playing with ... but how convenient if we can figure them out!<BR/><BR/>Hi Melanie. I used to think of myself as a transplanted New Yorker, but now I proudly wear the mantle of Jersey Girl (if I may be allowed to stretch the meaning of "girl"). My youngest brother Dan is our advance guard: he lives in Asheville, NC! Jersey will never be empty; it's an impossibility!<BR/><BR/>Thanks, Mineke. I have to adjust my seeing--they look so intense next to my watercolors; but it's not a bad thing!<BR/><BR/>Hi Bob. I've sold a few at local shows and such, but I haven't really pursued selling--it seems like too much work. I have such a stack of paintings now, that I'm starting to think of it just to make room!<BR/><BR/>Hi Vivienne. Oomph is what we want.

The population must be getting small up there... all the Jersey folks are moving down here!<BR/>It's quite alright with me - they've brought the incredible food with them:)<BR/>I cant say as i've ever had a Jersey peach - but i've heard about the tomatoes... makes my mouth water just thinking of it!<BR/>Hope you have a lovely time - thanks for still taking the time to read my outofdate blog :)Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05438050786606324067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33679874.post-15231805800478203302008-09-05T08:03:00.000-04:002008-09-05T08:03:00.000-04:00I just found your blog and your work is wonderful....I just found your blog and your work is wonderful. I really like these little paintings—great colors. I bought those Sai watercolor pens and have yet to figure them out, but I like the idea of a softer line with my watercolors.

Should be fun; it's a nice group of people--I just have to be careful I don't socialize a lot and paint a little.<BR/><BR/>Thanks "IvetoPaint." "looseness" seems to be what we all want--although sometimes, for me, looseness turns into carelessness! Two things I think have helped me--although it's ongoing, of course, and relative--are 1) painting without drawing (not always and not for every subject) and 2) painting with a time limit. I'm trying to train myself to stop and assess now and then--I think there are probably times when I could have stopped working on a painting and it would have been fine!laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11999450626008299190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33679874.post-46995199200139112092008-09-04T20:40:00.000-04:002008-09-04T20:40:00.000-04:00The colors are bright, but they make a very vibran...The colors are bright, but they make a very vibrant statement.
