I love this. Those deep, bright blues against the pale earthy neutrals - a Casey signature!

I know I've said this before, but I really admire your ability to toss out local color in your work and go with these scintillating palette combinations.

Have I seen this before, or is it just so right that it simply must exist? Like the sun.

I am always fascinated by the glowing violet of distant hills at certain times of day. You've captured that beautifully with this painting! It makes me want to look and look.

Beautiful! I need to ask (so I can learn) what color paper did you use? a putty color? purple and yellow together are one of my favorite combinations of all time.

Robin, Lisa and Stan - my deepest thanks.

Robin, the paper is a brown Sennie La Carte. It is visible in the upper left.

I can read these definitions in every dictionary, but I still can't understand how to do this...
See this blog, I think you'll like it: Drawings Paintings Prints, this person shows the stages of the painting but I still don't know how to use it so I ca use it at mine...
Will come back for sure.

Hi, Baba. I enjoyed looking at Catherine's blog. Will you start a blog, too?

Thanks for reading.
