This painting was such a struggle... turmoil is a good word for it!<br /><br />I'm glad you found my blog too!<br /><br />NickiNickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10333869924278210044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1449698803200850980.post-66635959109319555832011-12-29T07:19:01.269-08:002011-12-29T07:19:01.269-08:00I think I am safe ( you can't reach me throug...I think I am safe ( you can't reach me through the internet); may I say that I liked the foreground in the second last version and yes the sky needed revamping...just don't like the foreground now...but then I look at it and see it as a reflection of the turmoil you were in about painting it, so it kinda fits... love your work over all! I know you see big skies in Saskatchewan (been there several times) and I love being able to see forever (I grew up in the mountains) ; so different than what I am used to.

I admit I had to look up the word "perspicacity"- I feel smarter now that I know a new word! <br /><br />I hope you are enjoying the holidays. I miss you as well. I think we will see each other at some point this year.<br /><br />XO NickiNickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10333869924278210044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1449698803200850980.post-20085841997876638322011-12-19T19:30:29.897-08:002011-12-19T19:30:29.897-08:00I am astounded by your vigour and perspicacity to ...I am astounded by your vigour and perspicacity to soldier on with so much angst. Love the result. I see a little wood like this in similar colour tones when I walk the dog. Awesome. Merry, Merry Christmas.<br /><br />I miss you.<br /><br />XO BarbaraBarbara Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01342757136485853833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1449698803200850980.post-84232342400368299322011-12-18T14:09:30.679-08:002011-12-18T14:09:30.679-08:00Hi CheyAnne,

I have stopped at a place where I feel it is finished- all the biggest issues have been resolved to the extent I can resolve them. And now it is time to see where the next canvas will lead me!<br /><br />I enjoy your blog!<br /><br />NickiNickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10333869924278210044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1449698803200850980.post-8370862153364278212011-12-18T00:16:36.400-08:002011-12-18T00:16:36.400-08:00Good point to remember.
