When I look at yesterdays post I realize how wordy I was! Whew! Thanks to everyone who bothered to read it. The kids are at school and I am really tired so I think I will keep it brief for today and then go rest. However, I did want to thank those of you who have decided to follow my blog... it means a lot... especially when I know I haven't gotten off my butt to do any following yet... this whole time I have been bookmarking my favorites! I actually didn't even fully understand what following meant, but I just read a Blogger article on it and it is more clear. Anyway, thank you to my 12 Followers! And also thanks to those that have taken the time to leave comments for me- they are a treat to read each time I find a new message. Hopefully new readers will find your blogs (those that have one) through mine.

This is beautiful, Nicki. Love it! You are amazing.
By the way... I have an award for you on my blog. Come get it!
I think this is my most favorite of your paintings, though I really like all of them. You have such bold color choices and your brushwork is so confident.
I keep thinking of what you said about focusing on what interests you, that you don't have to include everything that's there. How true.
I'm a reader too, so of course I ordered the book. Thanks for the recommendation.
Thank you so much Janie! Oh my, an award to come and get! I don't know how I do that (I'm so not computer savvy, but I will try! Thanks again!

Hi Deborah,
Nice to hear from you again and thanks, I'm glad you like this one. I hope you got your uploading issues resolved on your blog.
Yes, the issue of what to include in your painting is huge. It is especially difficult when you are painting en Plein air, as I was with this painting because the forest can be overwhelming with trees, bushes, branches, creatures, sky, clouds. It's almost too much. Maybe I will write a post about the lesson my mentor gives on this topic. She is such an interesting person. Stay tuned...
