It changes the feel of a place. We are lucky we can record, with our art, what used to be for posterity. Your buildings are good. Reminds me that I need to practice drawing buildings.<br />JeanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33679874.post-7923056905055021142010-07-15T10:15:43.925-04:002010-07-15T10:15:43.925-04:00my first visit to your blog. the soft colours are...my first visit to your blog. the soft colours are deftly handled in all your watercolours.

Just like here in Florida 40 years ago . when I first moved here ..and now same thing has happened, condos replacing all those places. Such a loss of its character, at least thats my feeling ... guess I don't do well with progress.Barbra Joanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08263982645593300365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33679874.post-83252508868102211762010-07-14T09:47:35.624-04:002010-07-14T09:47:35.624-04:00It's a beautiful painting.. so cool, fresh and...It's a beautiful painting.. so cool, fresh and inviting.

I'm not sure why, but it just touched me this morning when I read it. Maybe knowing that I don't walk through troubled times alone. (i.e., I need to step outside myself at times!) I think this is beautiful! Sometimes I truly think progress isn't progress at all and your words just prove it true. Wouldn't it be cool to own this house by the water? To have your own dock? The trees and forests in which to roam and play? Beautiful painting capturing a lost moment in time.Autumn Leaveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04010044052621228719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33679874.post-36937649824983751372010-07-13T22:04:24.826-04:002010-07-13T22:04:24.826-04:00Hi Laura, I like this,sort of haunting,or maybe it...Hi Laura, I like this,sort of haunting,or maybe it's more thinking about the Boom and Bust. Crazy isn't it,things changed so quickly. <br />Maybe that's a good thing,less condo's and clasic old homes left intact.cathyswatercolorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03318863061595720021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33679874.post-18281698877020009862010-07-13T21:27:44.668-04:002010-07-13T21:27:44.668-04:00That's a beautiful painting!

I agree that your painting makes this place sort of immortal--it looks like a stunning location the way you depicted it!A Brush with Colorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07638723986208929476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33679874.post-86327740271070637222010-07-13T18:34:57.451-04:002010-07-13T18:34:57.451-04:00this is beautiful and it's sad to hear they ar...this is beautiful and it's sad to hear they are replaced by empty, probally ugly buildings that have no personality, unlike there old timers.
