I am always glad to hear from you and am happy to provide you with a break during your day.<BR/><BR/>Hi Mom, I am not opposed to self-censorship, just in case you think you'll ever actually know everything about my college days.<BR/><BR/>Aaron, My colors change with the weather a bit, but since I am the stubborn type I go bright in the winter and dreary in the summer. <BR/><BR/>Martha, Thanks for calling me irresistible, sadly, that's not normally an adjective used to describe me. I like Chromium Greens too, but they can be a bit tricky.<BR/><BR/>Hi Ed, I also enjoy hearing your comments and observations. So did the teacher's work have intensity or no intensity?<BR/><BR/>Hi Anna, Thanks for the compliment about my stamina. However, I suspect you get a lot done yourself. I only wish I could get representation in CA! I was going to send some info to Steel but heard they are closing. I may try Thomas Reynolds sometime.<BR/><BR/>I hope ya'll are checking out everyone else's blogs!Tracy Helgesonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07510044613771862211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22266501.post-1146082732445848982006-04-26T16:18:00.000-04:002006-04-26T16:18:00.000-04:00Hi Tracy,I comment once in a while, and you've hea...Hi Tracy,<BR/><BR/>I comment once in a while, and you've heard from me before. I'm impressed with your stamina - I thought I was reasonably productive, but I'm a dreamy slacker next to you.<BR/><BR/>Hope I get a chance to see some of your paintings in a gallery out here someday.<BR/><BR/>Anna ContiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22266501.post-1146069435590080282006-04-26T12:37:00.000-04:002006-04-26T12:37:00.000-04:00Well, I also lurk in the background. Whenever I'm ...Well, I also lurk in the background. Whenever I'm new to a situation (job, social circle, etc.) I am quiet at first but given time you'll regret encouraging me to speak up. Anyhow I have noticed the uniqueness of your color combinations. It is interesting because the images are so quiet and serene and very often there is an edgyness to the colors, and this is with the muted colors.<BR/><BR/>When I was young, my colors were dark and brooding because I embraced dark and brooding as romantic. Now I love light and sunshine so my colors reflect that attitude. I now also try to see just how many different colors I can get on a surface without having it completely fail.<BR/><BR/>I also had a teacher in college who used nothing but flourescent colors in her paintings. Her theory was that all intensity equaled no intensity.Ed Maskevichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06505691052584290449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22266501.post-1146068429447250542006-04-26T12:20:00.000-04:002006-04-26T12:20:00.000-04:00I'm a full blown commenter, so you know who I am! ...I'm a full blown commenter, so you know who I am! I knew you would be popular. You are irresistable, because somehow you manage to not only blog nearly every day, but to post a lovely painting to boot. <BR/><BR/>I will check out the olive green, as I find green among the most difficult colors to work with satisfactorily (god, is that a word??). Also, I think working with a combination of subdued colors and vibrant ones can work really well- I will look forward to seeing those.marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09691207583232829217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22266501.post-1146067132634913272006-04-26T11:58:00.000-04:002006-04-26T11:58:00.000-04:00I have found my color to change with the weather, ...I have found my color to change with the weather, greyish in winter, bright in the fall.SHANNON & AARON TUCKERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14639532750827635278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22266501.post-1146066925289425952006-04-26T11:55:00.000-04:002006-04-26T11:55:00.000-04:00Even tho I sometimes make a comment I am most ofte...Even tho I sometimes make a comment I am most often a "lurker".<BR/>It's the only way I can find out what you were up to when you were away at school in Mpls and Philly!<BR/>(I can also find out what people are saying about you and your work!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22266501.post-1146062516426850482006-04-26T10:41:00.000-04:002006-04-26T10:41:00.000-04:00Well....
