Thanks Jenna  –  appreciate your comments.  The colors are very pastel like and more easily seen in real life.

Always happy to see your work for 2 or 3 days.  Makes me smile and gets the day off to a good start.  Early Morning Light is a good sample.

<p style=”text-align: left;”>Valley Hay Barn</p>
12×12 SoHo HB acrylics on linen canvas panel with big brush using dry brush technique.

I did this Friday morning, which is one of my 3 painting days.  I have set aside Mon, Wed & Fri as my mornings to paint.  I think this is having a positive effect on my up-tic in the progression of my Parkinsons.  Time will tell.

On average I spend 1 – 1.5 hours per painting session.

I’m sad that you have to limit your painting days, Dick.  I have a chronic illness that causes constant pain, and I have an idea about how frustrating limitations can be.  Nonetheless, you do the most wonderful work and your dedication is so inspiring.  Love your newest works!

Thanks Jenna – sorry to hear that you also have physical restrictions.  I guess sometimes life can get in the way of life.  I appreciate your comments on my work!

Thank you for your kind words.   That’s very nice of you to say.  I love the little kiss of sunshine on Prairie Mesa!  High Country Barn is a real showstopper!  I love the depth of the shadows beneath the roofline.  Really dramatic painting.  Well done!

Thanks Jenna – for some reason I’ve had barns on my mind the past few weeks.

I like Prairie Mesa a lot, you know I would.   High Country Barn is really outstanding.  I have taken hundreds of photos of barns but painted very few and I appreciate looking at yours.  Happy every time you paint.  (You, too, Jenna!)
