Karin,

I love the new site and your artist's statement is superb. I know this Forum is not the place, but I would love a demo. Like you, I'm looking to use this type of inspirational landscape as backdrops to some pieces I've planned.

Thank you again.

Demo? You mean how I do the landscapes? If you're curious, I'm going to be at PSOA in Washington in April and I'd be glad to show you. I'll also be happy to show anyone that is interested how the underpainting/glazing technique is done.

Karin,

May I shake your hand? You've gone from not being able to do landscapes to being a landscape artist. Would you mind if I borrow some of your success?

ReNae,

There are some demos on varied subjects in the Portrait Artist Forum that I thought were very interesting.

Karin,

Just checked out your new web site on Landscapes. It is fantastic. The design too is quite unique as this Craig Butterworth is a fine designer of websites. I then checked out HIS site. Different.

I would love to see your demos. Unfortunately, I won't be able to attend the PSOA in April although I will possibly be in that area staying with friends. Just not enough "cash" to attend.

Maybe another time as I intend to enter a portrait eventually. Always waiting for that perfect one to do so.

Great job as usual

Two sessions, 16" x 20", from life.

I love the colors Mari! Very nice.

I'm having trouble uploading pictures so I'm going to try posting two pix here in this "catch-all" thread. I was trying unsuccessfully to send them to Michelle Rushworth because of a conversation we were having in another section of this Forum. These are two paintings that I am making into giclees.

Karin Wells · 07-05-2003, 01:10 AM

And here is another one of my paintings that I have decided to turn into a giclee.

Because of the poor economy, my portrait business has taken a real hit. However, my still life and landscapes seem to be selling but I cannot paint 'em fast enough. So I'm going to try the print market for awhile until portraiture picks up again.

Beautiful, Karin! Very warm and serene. I especially like the peach reflection in the vase in the first image.

Wow, very good form and color on the white of that pot! I just judged a show that had a white catagory. None of those approached the great whites in this one pot. The greens are very nicely done too by the way. With stills like these why fight bugs outside anyway?
