I too am rooted in realism but I do find some abstract painters wonderful, as you expressed so eloquently. I do enjoy seeing your work whenever I come across it!<BR/><BR/>Incidently, speaking of landscape painting I spent some marvelous time making paintings at your beautiful home in Dade City, when Tampa Bay Plein Air came to paint there. Since I live in Zephyrhills it was easy for me to come several times. Both those paintings were sold!<BR/><BR/>I just wanted to say that I have subscribed to yours and Linda's blogs and look forward to reading them both. I am sure I will learn much from their content, a well as enjoying the artwork.<BR/><BR/>Cheers...<BR/>GainorGainorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09329346095437429285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2838632489934306281.post-26637178450459071382008-08-04T16:31:00.000-05:002008-08-04T16:31:00.000-05:00Hi Deborah,All the painting is well achieved, but ...Hi Deborah,<BR/><BR/>All the painting is well achieved, but what I most like is how the lighting convincingly (sp?) depicts the time of the day.<BR/><BR/>Kind regards,<BR/><BR/>JoséJosé Carrilho (Go Detail)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08965916774046623372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2838632489934306281.post-88961425400925179552008-08-01T11:34:00.000-05:002008-08-01T11:34:00.000-05:00Hi Sheila.

Your beautiful painting seems to have ...Hi Deborah! Your beautiful painting seems to have been overshadowed by your very interesting comments on modernism. Like you I like to be able to recognise a "philosphy" almost beneath the squiggles and turns of paint. (eg, Rothko, yes, but also people like Paul Nash and Kandinsky and many more - I am not as clued up in art history as you are, so forgive me for jumping around). The feeling that someone has something to say and is not just pulling a trick out of the bag, I think that is it for me. By the way did you know that Rothko's son Christopher and daughter Kate have published a book written by Rothko during his lifetime(in very rough, draft form but fascinating) called "The Artist's Reality: Philosophies of Art" ? It was published by Yale University Press in 2004.Sheila Vaughanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11202418013915704272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2838632489934306281.post-59602290740356498252008-07-30T22:16:00.000-05:002008-07-30T22:16:00.000-05:00Hi Dianne.I truly believe we are in the midst of a...Hi Dianne.I truly believe we are in the midst of a renaissance in representational painting- and we lived to tell about it!

I, too, was a college student in the 60's and got thoroughly dosed with the whole works you talk about. Thanks for all you've said here. I know New York is still stuck in the trends attitude, but I'm thankful I've lived long enough to see responsive art wake up and flourish.Dianne Mizehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06290943648650327077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2838632489934306281.post-73345394697379961132008-07-30T13:58:00.000-05:002008-07-30T13:58:00.000-05:00Wow, Jeff, thank you.

The Modernist movement does really offend people in general and many times on purpose.<BR/><BR/>I hope we're in a day and age where one movement doesn't have to supplant the other. At the art fair this weekend, I participated in a big, ecclectic exhibition of art.
