Beth,
I love seeing this process. Recently took a class in encaustic and find that it's just what I've been yearning for with my photographs--the chance to actually get my hands dirty again. There's just something so satisfying at the end of the day after working like this.

What a glorious oil painting, Beth. You remind me of winter's beauty -- no small feat, as I resist the impulse to mourn summer's end. And I really like the charcoal sketch, too, and am eager to see how it becomes a print.

(I realize, as I write this, that I would like to own a piece of your work someday...)

I like that odd shape in the foreground very much. So the last rendition does not please me as much as the next to last one.

I like the penultimate one a lot for the vigor (a sort of gyring quality as if the sky were connected to the earth that is not present in the last.) And I like the last for the shapes and sweep of the thing. Like them both, really.

just saw a wonderful piece on the news about Vermonters pulling together to help each other after the hurricane. It was a community meal with everyone pitching in.

I love the black ink drawing- looks like a print already. Look forward to seeing the next stage.

Very much appreciate everyone's feedback. I'm desperately trying to get my work done today so I can start a relief print of this image; I did another sketch and hope I've figured it out a bit more satisfactorily.

Like the last drawing a lot. You're really moving into Expressionist territory with the mood of it and the angularity. VERY pleasing!

I am enjoying your process in exploring painting, especially the way you show your transitions in trying out different mediums to simplify or fill out details, as in this river painting.

I am a closet painter - have explored it a bit - different mediums - I like to go to nature spots and sit and do a quick rendition of the moods of places, or have even been colouring in colouring books ... obviously need to get into it ha ha!! Thank you for your awesome sharing!

Julie

Who was Cassandra?


  • In the Iliad, she is described as the loveliest of the daughters of Priam (King of Troy), and gifted with prophecy. The god Apollo loved her, but she spurned him. As a punishment, he decreed that no one would ever believe her. So when she told her fellow Trojans that the Greeks were hiding inside the wooden horse...well, you know what happened.
