Bad for me - I can't seem to get excited about sunshine, but by the same token I am big on the shadows.

It still doesn't act like I'd wish it to. I especially don't like the preview as a pop out - am I missing a setting to get it back the old way?<br /><br />Perhaps I'll ditch the justified right images. One thing I know is that it may look fine on my screen, but not on all. I appreciate the crit ( I always do) and I also know that the larger "catch line" I gave up awhile back is another problem. The stupid blogger html expresses it as a percentage, and that never works right.Casey Klahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08020906666248399435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5826049157205598760.post-38534649884689273212010-03-25T01:38:38.165-07:002010-03-25T01:38:38.165-07:00very cool article---UNSOLICITED SUGGESTION: Bigger...very cool article---UNSOLICITED SUGGESTION: Bigger images, smaller type. geez it's like an eye chart. lol. <br />j/k<br />beautiful tree paintings.Celeste Berginhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06791708298070342301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5826049157205598760.post-76255111804254523992010-03-24T15:47:48.023-07:002010-03-24T15:47:48.023-07:00Kaylyn.

No green so far. Shale, a little blue, and then naples yellow in the high points. Now that I read this I think I'll continue it with no green.

I was not actively painting then, but every morning and evening I was looking at the landscape change with the light and the season. Every trip was like driving though a huge painting. I always tried to figure out what colors I would use for the orangey ochre grasses, the extraordinarily dark shadows in the late afternoon and the multitude of colors that appear green to the casual eye but are really blue, purple, red, orange.<br /><br />In fact, I was seeing exactly what you're talking about!Kaylyn Munrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11717537170993339125noreply@blogger.com
