Landscape #8 Whew! I'm done for now. Dang, it takes longer to post 'em than paint 'em with my old 56K modem.

I can paint at least one per day - oftentimes more and still work on my portraits.

I've spent years not being able to EVER paint a landscape (not even one - not even in art school). For some reason or other, just now, they seem to have hit a critical mass and are flowing out of the end of my brush almost faster than I can paint. Most of the scenes are remembered but some are inspired by my old photos.

I wish portraits would come as fast as these do.

but can't produce a decent landscape painting no matter how hard I try unless it is in the background of a portrait or still life - no kidding. Every now and then I try a landscape but find it difficult at best...this past year I have only painted one that I am not ashamed of....ouch.
HELLO?????

As for getting rid of them Karin, I think I know a few people here that you could send them too!

Oh, and thank you for opening up an opportunity for people to show something other than their portraits, I think it's been fun.

It is fun to see what others do besides portraiture. I think that because I have been focused on portraits for so long, I couldn't let go of the need to "get a likeness" in everything I tried to paint.

I finally was able to wrap my mind around the concept that in landscape painting, the literal doesn't matter a hoot as long as you can grab the feeling of it. I suspect that when this little landscape habit has run its course, my portrait style will change and mature a bit...but I'll still "get a likeness" in that no matter what.
