I particularly like your brush strokes and your use of color.

It’s SO enjoyable to be able to set up and paint outdoors, isn’t it?

I’m trying my hand at painting, as well, after several decades of not doing any. It’s really fun to get excited over working on a piece - I think the biggest hurdle is just getting started!

I hope you post more of your paintings, I’d enjoy seeing them.

No, I don't like W&N's water-mixable oils. Too stiff for me. femmedem Oct 2021 #12

I'm no art expert, but my first thought was Camille Pissaro. panader0 Oct 2021 #34

Funny you should say that! My parents had a print of a Pissaro painting when I was growing up. femmedem Oct 2021 #35

Perhaps the print made an 'impression' on you. panader0 Oct 2021 #37

Ha ha! Good one. n/t femmedem Oct 2021 #38
